Today on Sojourner Truth:

On Tuesday, January 14, the seventh Democratic Party presidential debate took place at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Six presidential candidates faced off less than three weeks before the February 3 caucuses, which will decide who will confront Donald Trump at the polls in November. The six candidates included Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, former Vice President Joe Biden, former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and businessman Tom Steyer. In total, there are 12 remaining Democratic presidential candidates; not all of them made the stage.

Hours before the debate, there were protests by immigrants rights groups. Also, the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival held a march at Drake University outside of the forum, calling for a full debate on poverty. And Black Lives Matter, who have been protesting Pete Buttigieg, were also there.

Our panelists are Gwendolyn Zoharah Simmons, Professor Emerita of African American and Islamic Studies at the University of Florida, Bill Gallegos, a longtime Chicano Liberation and Environmental Justice activist, and Alan Minsky, Executive Director of the Progressive Democrats of America, who was also the Program Director at KPFK Radio in Los Angeles from 2009 to 2018.

Also, joining us to talk about the protests that Black Lives Matter has been organizing against Buttigieg is Emmanuel Cannady, as part of our Campaigners for Black Lives series.
