She the People's Aimee Allison: We Need a Candidate to Support Economic, Racial and Gender Politics
by mail@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#4J25B)
The first night of the two-part 2020 presidential debate kicked off Wednesday night with a focus on the economy, healthcare, immigration, gun control, Iran and climate change. It was a historic night with three female candidates taking part: Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii. It marked the first time more than one female candidate appeared in a major political party debate in the United States. We speak with She the People founder Aimee Allison about the women in the race and foreign policy in Afghanistan and Iran. Allison won an honorable discharge as a conscientious objector in the First Gulf War.
