Friend —
As Greens, we celebrate the achievements of women everywhere and
commit to building a world of gender equity. Many of the crises we all
face — environmental degradation, war, economic exploitation —
disproportionately affect women. And so it should not surprise us that
women are many of the bravest opponents of those injustices,
overcoming what seem like the most insurmountable odds.
This year, we are thrilled to support Green women candidates like
Lisa Savage for US Senate in Maine and Margaret Villa for California
State Assembly, from Southeastern Los Angeles County. Please give to the Green Party today so we can
recruit, train, support and elect more women candidates who will fight
for Grassroots Democracy, Social Justice, Ecological Wisdom and
Non-Violence. Because gender equity in the
leadership of our society is necessary to achieving
those goals.
Margaret has advanced in California's "top two" primary to appear
in the November general election. Lisa's campaign collected over 9,000
signatures in a single day, which most certainly put her on the
ballot. Help us build a strong nationwide party to support their
campaigns, and the campaigns of countless women to come.
The Green Party is committed to centering women in leadership roles
in our party and in government. Feminism is one of our cherished 10
Key Values. Your gift helps us put that commitment into practice
by building women’s power in the streets and at the ballot
box!
In Solidarity, Darlene Elias & Deanna Taylor Co-Chairs,
Green Party National Women's Caucus
P.S. As we celebrate Women’s History Month and the
100th anniversary of women winning the right to vote in this country,
we honor the women who continue fighting to protect that right to this
day and fight to further empower all voters through
reforms like Ranked Choice Voting and Proportional Representation.
Sign up to become a Monthly Sustainer and help us
build gender equity and women’s representation in government for the
next century!
