----------------------------------------------------------------------

Author, civil rights activist and professor of philosophy Cornel West
has announced he's running for president as a candidate with the
People's Party. In a short video released Monday, West said his campaign
will focus on ending poverty, mass incarceration, wars and ecological
collapse, while guaranteeing housing, healthcare, education and living
wages for all.

Cornel West: "I have decided to run for truth and justice, which takes
the form of running for president of the United States as a candidate
for the People's Party. I enter in the quest for truth. I enter in the
quest for justice. And the presidency is just one vehicle to pursue that
truth and justice, what I've been trying to do all of my life."
