a seat at a democratic table? Turner is on one of the platform committees. She has no love for the DNC.

Detroit, MI One week after the Democratic and Republican national conventions, Bernie 2020 National Co-Chair Sen. Nina Turner and Bernie 2020 surrogate Dr. Cornel West will join the Movement for a Peoples Party to headline The Peoples Convention. Turner will deliver a speech titled: Choice, Challenge and Change: The Necessity of a Peoples Movement.
On Sunday, August 30, from 4-6 pm EST, thousands of Americans from all walks of life will gather to discuss the state of the nation at The Peoples Convention. At the conclusion, participants will vote on forming a major new political party free of corporate money and influence.
The Convention will be digital and broadcast live on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter pages with millions of followers, including The Jimmy Dore Show which will carry the convention to its nearly 800,000 subscribers on YouTube.
The convention will ask: What kind of world do we want to build from the devastation of the pandemic and economic depression?
It will feature speakers and a regional breakout session. There will be montages of the short, heartfelt videos recorded by hundreds of MPPs 80,000 members across the country. Speakers will discuss plans to become the largest party in America in four years, including building local hubs and state parties, sending representatives to Congress in 2022, and winning the presidency in 2024.
Sen. Turner is the host of the Hello Somebody Podcast and former president of Our Revolution. She is a former Ohio State Senator and professor of African American history. Dr. Cornel West is the Professor of the Practice of Public Philosophy at Harvard University. He is the author of 20 books, a frequent commentator on CNN, and co-host of the Tight Rope Podcast.
It looks as if the system cannot reform itself, said West of the American political and economic system on CNN in May. Yes we must vote the neofascist catastrophe out of the White House but the neoliberal disaster who enters the White House must be fought with a peoples movement and party, he said, accepting the invitation to The Peoples Convention.

Hillary did emails and gave a paid speech and said a word in the nineties so is hopelessly corrupt.
