Watch 'Black Lives Matter' co-founder endorse Sanders and Warren

[BeckyDem]

The eyes of the political world are on South Carolina, where over half of the Democratic primary voters are black. ‘Black Lives Matter’ Co-Founder Patrisse Cullors joins Ari Melber making a dual endorsement, backing Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren for president. Cullors also believes “old guard” Biden should take “a step back for new leadership,” adding his views are from “and old establishment.”

1. Nice!

2. Yea, this is great and the timing is wonderful.

3. So good. I am a huge fan of her

both her leadership in activism, her willingness as an independent activist to weigh in on this primary, and her ability/willingness to share her personal story to make a case for universal issues in her book. (Which I highly recommend to everyone - it is in paperback now so it's not too expensive: https://bookshop.org/books/when-they-call-you-a-terrorist-a-black-lives-matter-memoir/9781250306906 )
