Dear Friend
I’m writing today to introduce you
to my friend Jason Call, a former public high school teacher and union
leader, and a lifelong anti-war and climate activist.
Jason is running for Congress in
Washington’s 2nd congressional district with the Green Party. This is
a very competitive district for the Greens, and with Jason
leading the charge, it's an actually winnable race. I’m so excited to
partner with this game-changing campaign.
Together, we have the chance to
make history next year. Read on below to learn more, and please join
me in supporting Jason’s run!
Thank you,
|
A message for you from Jason

Friend,
I’ve lived in Washington’s 2nd
district for nearly half my life. Over the years, local progressives
have tried repeatedly to engage our Congressman on the issues that
matter to our community. I
was one of them.
As a lifelong antiwar and climate
activist, an organizer, a former elected union leader, and a public
school teacher, I’ve had a frontline view of the challenges working
families are up against.
I tried to bring those
challenges to Rep. Rick Larsen, both as a constituent and as a member
of the state Democratic Party leadership.

The years that my fellow progressives and I tried engaging
with the Congressman, we just kept hitting a brick wall. It turns out,
that wall was made of money – and the Democratic Party BUILT the
damned thing.
I primaried Rick Larsen in 2020 and
2022. Despite the struggles of campaigning during a once-in-a-century
pandemic, our scrappy grassroots campaign fell just shy of winning our
spot in Washington’s nonpartisan, “top two” primary.
I am the closest challenger Rick
Larsen has ever had, and the Green Party’s best chance to take this
seat from a career corporate Democrat and get our first Green Party
member elected to Congress. Will you support our 100%
grassroots-funded campaign with a contribution today?

Since 2022, I’ve come to accept
that Rick Larsen is not just a corrupt Democrat – he’s a typical one.
His inaction and unwillingness to listen are trademarks of today’s
corporate-backed Democratic Party.
Had I been in office these past few
years, I would have done everything possible
to bring universal healthcare to the table, make the child tax credit
permanent, end corporate price-gouging, stop Biden from issuing more
drilling permits to Big Oil, and end the genocide in Gaza.
Democrats didn’t just fail to act
on these issues – they didn’t even try.
Like Larsen, Congress will not
listen to us, no matter which party is steering the ship. Their deaf
ears are a symptom of the corporate greed that fuels both
parties.
At the urging of my community and my party, I am once again
running for Congress. But this time, I’m a registered member of the
Green Party of Washington State – a
party that will work WITH ME to bring real working class
representation to Washington D.C.
|
I am running to pass Medicare for
All, to fight for urgent climate action, and to oversee the
fundamental transformation of our economy with a REAL Green New Deal.
And unlike my opponent, I’ve never taken a dime of corporate PAC money
– and I never
will.
WHEN (not if) we win this seat, we are going to make
history. I will be the first member of the Green Party elected to
federal office, and a genuine independent, unbought, working class
voice in Congress.
Now I’m excited to partner with Dr.
Jill Stein’s campaign for president, and I look forward to serving
alongside her in Washington D.C.
The past two cycles, my district
proved that a real insurgent base of voters in Northwest Washington is
ready for fundamental political change.
I hope you are, too,
Friend, because this campaign
won’t just mark the end of Rick Larsen’s time in Congress. The entire
two-party system is about to get a wakeup call.
In solidarity, Jason
