Friend,

Right now our campaign is fighting an intense battle against the biggest challenge we’ve faced yet. We need tens of thousands more signatures to get on the ballot in New York - and with just two weeks left, we’re behind where we need to be.

From the bottom of my heart, I’m asking every one of you to do whatever you can now to help us get on the ballot in New York and keep us on track to put an anti-genocide, pro-worker, climate action campaign on every single ballot across the country.

Genocide in Gaza is going off the charts right now with the assault on Rafah, where 1.4 million people have been herded like cattle and are now targeted like fish in a barrel - including 600,000 wounded, malnourished, sick, traumatized children. With Israel's closure of the Rafah crossing last week choking off the little water and food that were getting in, and bombing the entire Gaza strip, this is a grand finale to 75 years of ethnic cleansing. 

We must do everything in our power to shut this genocide down. That means turning up the political demand by getting our opposition to genocide on the ballot in New York - ensuring this is a national force that cannot be stopped!

To make that happen, we urgently need volunteers as well as people who would like to get paid to petition. If you can come, let us know and we’ll get in touch to make arrangements for your visit, including accommodations if you need them. If you live within a bus ride of New York, and need help getting there, we can help you get there. We also need folks in NY or nearby who can provide housing or transportation for petitioners.

However you can help, please sign up now:

We also need everyone to donate whatever you can to help fund this urgent ballot drive. Every dollar you can donate moves us closer to the critical goal of getting 45,000 valid signatures in New York. Please pitch in as much as you can now to help make it happen - all donations will be matched up to the first $250 by federal matching funds!

Watch my new short video about this urgent fight and help spread the word by sharing it on Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.

In this historic moment of surging resistance to empire, our campaign is building momentum fast. A recent CBS poll from Wisconsin had us at 8% in a 3-way race, including 22% among voters 18-30 and 16% among voters 30-44. Our media coverage has exploded, and endorsements are rolling in, from Professor Jeffrey Sachs to Medea Benjamin, Kyle Kulinski, Jenan Matari, Andy Shallal, Professor Anthony Zenkus, and more.

If we get on the ballot in New York, it will shock the establishment and power our campaign to complete our ballot access nationwide - a process that’s over 75% completed already. With multiple systemic crises hitting at the same time and rejection of the establishment candidates at a record high, the sky's the limit for what lies ahead in this race - including a real shot at the White House.

This is do or die for our campaign. And it's do or die for putting opposition to genocide front and center in this election. Every day matters and every signature counts. 

If you can collect signatures in New York, we need your help now. If you can donate to help us fund our petition drive, please pitch in whatever you can now.

If you believe in this movement for people, planet, and peace, I ask you to join me in this historic moment and do whatever you can to help us get on the ballot in New York now!

Please share this urgent message with your friends, family, and fellow activists. We can do this if we all work together, but we need everyone to answer the call.

Thank you for everything you do to fight for an America and a world that works for all of us!

In gratitude,

Jill Stein
