Peta Lindsay

Activist Lindsay was seven years short of the minimum age to be elected president when she ran for president in 2012 on the Party for Socialism and Liberation ticket. Her aim was to end the oppression and inequality in the U.S. political system. “When the banks said they needed money, the government came up with $700 billion. But when it comes to bailing out the people…” Lindsay left her sentence hanging during a 2012 interview. “The banks win, the corporations win, and the people lose.”
