Press Conference | Thursday, August 8, 11 AM | 2 Martin Luther King Jr Dr SE

The Claudia De la Cruz Campaign gathered 17,000–more than DOUBLE the required—signatures to qualify for the presidential ballot access in Georgia. Despite this, the Democratic Party of Georgia is attempting a flagrantly undemocratic legal attack on third parties and independent candidates to prevent presidential ballot access.

Democratic Party operatives have filed a legal challenge trying to prevent the people of Georgia from having the option to vote socialist in November. Afraid that they cannot secure a victory on the merits of their own political program and record, the Democrats are turning to the courts to block any alternative outside the two major capitalist parties. 

It is clear that the Democratic Party believes that the right to ballot access in this country should be reserved only for those who serve the interests of the billionaires and the corporate elites, like their own candidate, Kamala Harris. The democratic Party machine is not a defender of democracy, but its enemy! 

The working class people in this country deserve an option in the Presidential elections that stands decisively against war, racism, environmental destruction, poverty, and all the evils of capitalism. The working class deserves a socialist option!

We will fight to stay on the ballot! Join us on Aug 8!
