As the Democratic Convention begins August 19, thru August 22, 2024 the Black and the diverse media must have a chair at the table. In Chicago there will be 50,000 visitors and 15,000 members of the media there. Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota will be the stars of the convention.

On August 1st, celebrated by Jamaicans as Emancipation Day, Jamaicans Marlon Hill and Delroy Redway were in different parts of the world but had United States vice president Kamala Harris on their minds. Hill, a lawyer and key figure in South Florida’s Jamaican community, was preparing to launch a campaign there for Harris, the unofficial Democratic nominee for US president.

Vice President Kamala Harris has a political career that is classic textbook. She leveraged her legal training at the University of California into a position in the District Attorney’s office. Then she ran for San Francisco District Attorney, beating the incumbent in a runoff election. She came out on top of a crowded Democratic primary for California Attorney General, and narrowly defeated her Republican opponent for the office in 2010.

As the Democrats build a new electoral team in 2024 the Harris and Walz team kicks off a cross country tour in five battleground states. Minnesota Governor Walz is an unknown commodity and in the next 90 days America will get to know what the two candidates stand for, and if they can unify the country.

As the world grapples with the ever-intensifying impacts of the climate crisis, a stark and troubling reality has emerged: Black communities are bearing a disproportionate burden of environmental degradation. This inequity is not merely a matter of statistics or abstract concepts; it translates into real, tangible hardships that exacerbate existing social and economic disparities.

WASHINGTON, DC - The outcome of the US Presidential elections will reverberate globally, impacting many nations. Every government, including those in the Caribbean, has begun to weigh which candidate’s victory might better serve their interests.

Vice President Kamala Harris has the vision, the intellect and the heart to lead a conversation about how to preserve American democracy. As a country, we are still struggling to make this “A more perfect union.” We are an incredibly unique and beautifully diverse nation, blessed in so many ways. However, our history of cultural cleavage and racial unrest still plagues us. At times, the ideological divide seems to be an unbridgeable chasm. There are those who would use political power to exploit our differences and undermine the very democratic institutions that have held us together as a nation.

If you live long enough, you’ll revert to the ways of infancy, no teeth, poor eyesight, can’t walk, always drooling, peeing and messing up yourself. It’s not pretty, as both ends of the age range are similar. They do say, ‘Once a man, twice a child.’

Trump is “America’s Hitler.”

As we celebrate the 59th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) this month, it is important we remember: the only way to tackle the complex challenges of our time is with a democracy that is responsive to the people it represents.

Trump the former president of America is mentally unfit, and too old to be the next president of the United States. Perhaps the greatest trick that the old man has pulled over the eyes of millions Americans is to treat him as he is normal.

The Democrats have changed the candidate for the nomination of the president in 2024, and it is a woman of color who will take over the campaign. “People in your life will tell you, though; it’s not your time. It’s not your turn. Nobody like you has done it before. Don’t you ever listen to that, I like to say, I eat no for breakfast,”says Democrat nominee Kamala Harris.
