The People's Party candidate and civil rights activist Cornel West declared on Monday that he will run for president in 2024.

As a presidential candidate for the People's Party, I'm fighting to restore America to its best self by ensuring that everyone has access to housing, health care, education, and a decent wage while also working to stop poverty, mass imprisonment, war, and ecological catastrophe. West tweeted his announcement.

"I join the search for the truth. In the accompanying video, he stated, "I enter in the pursuit of justice, and the president is simply one vehicle to seek that truth and justice, what I've been trying to accomplish my entire life.

Abortion rights, living standards, housing accessibility, and healthcare were among the main reasons West decided to run.

"Democracy causes turbulence. An eruption results from it. It causes a disruption, he claimed.

West is presently a professor emeritus at Princeton University and formerly held the position of professor of the practice of public philosophy at Harvard University.
