Claudia De la Cruz (born 1980/1981)[1] is an American far-left[2] activist who was the Party for Socialism and Liberation nominee for president of the United States in the 2024 election.[3]

Early life and education

De la Cruz was born in the South Bronx to Dominican Republic immigrants.[1][3][4] She attended Theodore Roosevelt High School and graduated in 1997.[1] She claims a visit to Cuba at age 17 inspired her opposition to imperialism.[5]

In 2001, De la Cruz earned a bachelor's degree in forensic psychology from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.[1] In 2007, she earned a master's degree in social work from Columbia University and a master's degree in divinity from Union Theological Seminary.[1]

Career and activism

At the City University of New York, De la Cruz coordinated a teen group to study resistance movements and march against the 2003 Iraq War.[1][5] In 2004, she founded Da Urban Butterflies (DUB), a Washington Heights-based leadership group for teens and young women of Dominican and Puerto Rican descent. The "Butterflies" name honored the three Dominican Mirabal sisters who were killed in November 1960 for opposing the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo.[1]

De la Cruz attended and later served as pastor of Santo Romero de Las Américas church, a UCC congregation in New York City.[1][6] She saw that church was important to her "social and political formation" and "wanted to do community organizing from a faith-based perspective".[1]

De la Cruz was co-executive director of The People's Forum, an activist organization in New York City that she co-founded.[4][5][7][8] With the People's Forum, she has participated in numerous pro-Palestinian protests, including a "Shut Down Wall Street" event during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[3][7][9][10]

De la Cruz announced her presidential campaign on September 7, 2023. She and running mate Karina Garcia are the presidential ticket for the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), a Marxist–Leninist party, in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.[3][5] Their socialist policy program includes a pledge to support reparations for Black Americans, institute a single-payer healthcare system, end all U.S. aid to Israel, forgive all student loan debt, fully recognize Native American sovereignty and honor treaty rights, cut the U.S. military budget by 90%, seize the 100 largest corporations, expand public transportation, and use taxation to eliminate billionaires.[11]

On January 28, 2024, Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia held their first in-person campaign event in Newark, New Jersey.[12] On February 29, 2024, De la Cruz participated in a presidential candidates debate hosted by the Free & Equal Elections Foundation alongside Green Party candidates Jill Stein and Jasmine Sherman and Libertarian Party candidates Chase Oliver and Lars Mapstead.[13][14]

In March 2024, the South Carolina Workers Party voted to place De la Cruz and Garcia on the state ballot for president and vice president.[15] In June 2024, De la Cruz gave a speech at a pro-Palestine protest surrounding the White House.[16]

For the 2024 election, a Fulton County Superior Court Judge ruled that De La Cruz was disqualified from appearing on Georgia ballots after failing to sign the required paperwork.[17] Republicans opposed this.
