I especially appreciate Senator Turner’s willingness to have discussed the VP position said Stein.

Green Party presumptive Presidential nominee Jill Stein has offered her Vice-Presidential bid to International Human Rights Scholar and Activist Ajamu Baraka.

Ajamu Baraka is a powerful, eloquent spokesperson for the transformative, radical agenda whose time has come - an agenda of economic, social, racial, gender, climate, indigenous and immigrant justice. Ajamu’s life’s work has embodied the immortal words of Dr. Martin Luther King: Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," Stein continued. "In this hour of unprecedented crisis, we are honored to lift up a unified movement for justice in the only national political party that is not held hostage by corporate money, lobbyists and super-PACs. We look forward to bringing this agenda for justice to the American people in the exciting race ahead."

"In the process of vetting and selecting a VP, I was honored to talk with several inspired activists," Stein said. "Among them, I especially appreciate Senator Turner's willingness to have discussed the VP position. The fit just wasn’t right, as Senator Turner is still committed to try to save the soul of the Democratic Party. While we may not agree on whether that is possible, I respect her passion to fight for the people and wish her the best in her effort."

Stein said she also discussed the position with author Chris Hedges, Single Payer Healthcare Activist and US Senate candidate Dr. Margaret Flowers (Green - Maryland), Economic Justice Advocate and TPP opponent Kevin Zeese of PopularResistance.org, and Green Party Activist and former Black Panther Party leader, Aaron Dixon.

Dr. Jill Stein is expected to be formally nominated as the Presidential candidate of the Green Party at their National Convention in Houston on Saturday, August 6th.
