In Illinois, we will launch our
petition drive March 26. It will be a combination of volunteers and
paid petitioners, and we have only 90 days to collect 25,000 valid
signatures. In Ohio, we have collected over 8,000 signatures in the
past two months, and expect to reach our goal of 10,000 signatures by
the middle of April, mostly with paid petitioners, which will cost
about $40,000.
In Alaska, we are about halfway to
our goal of 6,000 total signatures, at a cost of $18,000. In Nevada,
our deadline is June 1. We are about one third of the way to our goal,
having gathered 7,000 signatures so far, at a cost of
$20,000.
This last week our Ballot Access
team and Field Team have been phone banking in order to recruit
volunteers in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and
Georgia to gather signatures. But volunteer-led efforts take money
too, for printing, setting up events, travel, and other administrative
and clerical needs. Because of these costs, we have a $100,000 ballot
access fundraising goal for March. Jill doesn’t have super PACs, so
she depends on super supporters like you.
Can you chip in today for ballot access to
ensure voters have an anti-genocide, climate action, pro-worker option
in November?
