Friend,
I’ve been proud to work alongside this small team of committed
staff on the Jill Stein 2024 campaign for ten long weeks now. We work
around the clock organizing volunteers, communicating with supporters,
and planning media coverage and events to ensure Jill gets in front of
as many diverse audiences as possible to share the message that a
better world and a new day are possible.
Earlier this month we completed a 3-week
tour of 15 states that took Jill from her homebase in Boston to states
throughout the Mountain West and West Coast to Appalachia and the
Great Lakes. On that tour we met with the Muslim community, students,
healthcare workers, and with the town of East Palestine, Ohio where
residents to this day suffer devastating health impacts from the
completely avoidable train derailment and chemical spill on Feb. 3
2023.
We embarked on
that road trip because we wanted to show people - real working class
people, not lobbyists or investors - that we are here for them now,
and when Jill is elected.
Just recently we hit our targets to file for federal matching
funds so that $250 of every person’s contribution will be matched by
the federal government. And in addition to the 19 states we already
had a ballot line in, we have added Hawaii, West Virginia, and
Idaho.
But
here we are looking at the wall in front of us, and it’s time to face
reality. It’s time for the big ask. We need 300 people to max out
primary contributions to us, and we need them to do it
now. |
We have critical ballot access needs
directly ahead. The New York State legislature set the bar to ballot
access almost impossibly high for third parties.
In addition to this, Illinois, Indiana and
Georgia all have high barriers to entry, and there are deadlines
looming. We have been messaging furiously that we are on track to be
on the November ballot in all 50 states, but whether we can continue
that messaging all depends on the fundraising we are able to do over
the next two months.
We need to raise $100,000
by the end of March.
We need to raise another
$500,000 by the end of April.
And another
$500,000 by the end of May.
If we can’t do that, we will not hit the mark in at least one of
these states, and we’ll have to be strategic about one(s) we let
go.
But I’m confident
people will step up to support the only pro worker, pro climate
action, anti genocide campaign that will (regardless) be on most
people’s ballots in November. |
The deck has always been stacked
against insurgent movements that challenge the status quo. The parties
of war and Wall Street are grandfathered onto your ballots, even
though a whopping two-thirds of voters are clamoring for better
options.
Think about
what Day One of a Stein presidency would mean:
- An immediate end to the funding of
genocide
- An immediate declaration of
climate emergency and a full scale mobilization to end fossil fuel and
transition to renewable and sustainable energy
- An immediate pardon for Julian
Assange
- An immediate end to cannabis as a
Schedule 1 drug and a commutation of sentences for nonviolent cannabis
offenses.
- An immediate order to publish the
Equal Rights Amendment.
The list of Day One presidential
actions goes on and on.
This movement represents the biggest challenge to corporate
hegemony in our lifetimes. We want to mobilize everyone who is
demanding better from their government.
WE CAN DO IT!
But the real work starts here and now, with
everyone contributing as much as they are able to, and for 300
supporters to dig deep and give that maximum primary contribution of
$3300.

Or if you’ve already given the max, you can
ask a friend, partner, or another Green to join you and max out as
well!
Reminder also that
this evening at 8pm EST / 5pm PST, Jill and I will be live with Kymone
Freeman at an all important virtual livestream rally and fundraiser to
close out March and send us into April with a winning strategy. Sign
