A co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement has asked for a meeting with Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) to urge the duo to give top priority to a “well-thought-out, communnity-driven, fully resourced agenda that addresses the particular challenges faced by Black people.”
Patrisse Cullors, who signed a letter (pdf) to the Democrats in her role as leader of the Black Lives Matter Global Network, said the Biden and Harris ticket’s strong showing in the election rested on the support of black voters, adding, “we want something for our vote.”
