It’s a little-known fact that
presidential campaigns can qualify for public matching funds, a program introduced after
the Watergate scandal to fight the corrupting influence of big money
in politics.
For a people-powered grassroots campaign like Jill’s,
matching funds can be a game-changer - especially because anti-democratic ballot access laws force
us to pour so many resources into simply getting on the
ballot.
Here’s how it works: we need to
raise at least $5000 in qualifying contributions in at least 20
states. The first $250 from each donor counts toward the $5000
requirement. Once we qualify, everyone’s donations from
every state will be matched up to $250. This provides a major infusion of
funding we need to put a real alternative on the ballot for all voters
across the country!
Here’s how you can help: donate
whatever you can now,
then multiply your impact by asking your friends, family, and everyone
in your network to help Jill qualify for matching funds!
