McKinney & Clemente to Campaign in Texas
Cynthia McKinney is campaigning in Seattle today, but will be heading to Texas later this week. Cynthia McKinney and running mate Rosa Clemente will be meeting up in Texas to tour areas ravaged by Hurricane Ike, and speak to people about their Power to the People campaign for President.
Cynthia McKinney, former Congresswoman who lead the investigation into the federal government response to Hurricane Katrina, will be in Galveston for a Press Conference on Thursday, October 30th. A follow-up Press Release will give specifics.
Beginning 10 days after Hurricane Katrina ravaged parts of the south, Rosa Clemente provided on the ground reporting as an independent journalist to independent radio stations and mainstream media outlets all over the world. Friday, October 31st she will travel to Galveston.
On October 30th and 31st, voters in Texas will hear what these women have to say about current issues impacting our local communities and those that continue to be put on the back burner during every election season – class struggle, the prison industrial complex, media justice, gentrification, a just immigration policy, police brutality, war crimes and impeachment proceedings being levied on those responsible in high office, and addressing the Palestinian perspective in the Middle East.
