Former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson officially announced her run for president in 2024, calling for the end to “corporate tyranny.”

Williamson, the first Democrat to announce a run for president – ahead of President Joe Biden, who is expected to run for reelection spoke largely about the economic injustices Americans face today in her announcement speech Saturday. The author said that because so many things “plague” the U.S., a “collective effort” is required to fix the system.

“It is our job to create a vision of justice and love that is so powerful that it will override the forces of hatred and injustice and fear,” said Williamson.

Some of the policies she mentioned were universal health care, child care, paid family or sick leave, tuition-free education, a guaranteed wage and a “21st Century Economic Bill of Rights.”

She mentioned Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and how he recognized that the government works for the people during her speech. Williamson said now the government only works for the corporations, is a “sociopathic economic system,” a “system of legalized bribery,” and causes Americans to struggle with anxiety, despair and depression.

“We should be making an emergency level, just transition from a dirty economy to a clean economy,” said Williamson. “It’s our turn, let’s do this.” (RELATED: Marianne Williamson Confirms 2024 Run)

Williamson spoke about how “brave” the founders were in pushing back against tyranny, and how important it is to see where America came from to understand where society is today. Every generation has fought back against injustice – the civil rights movement, women’s suffrage movement and the labor movement and it’s “our turn” to fight back now, she said.

“Some people in this city, just don’t even seem to care. Some people in this city, with some very brave exceptions, don’t even have the spine or the moral courage to fix it. Ladies and gentlemen, let me in there, I will,” said Williamson.

In 2020, Williamson ran for the Democratic nomination, but dropped out in January due to lack of support, and later endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont for president. She mentioned that she was happy former President Trump lost reelection in her announcement speech.

Williamson said we should stand for democracy on the foundations the Declaration of Independence instilled. She concluded her speech by asking for help, donations and volunteers.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
