Friend —
This week, thousands upon thousands of people are exploring the
Green Party as a possible home now that Bernie Sanders has suspended
his campaign for president.
The timing was a bit of a surprise, but we're happy to report
an explosion of new signups and volunteers in our
grassroots party "Of, By and For the People." We're moving quickly to
connect these new allies into the fight for Grassroots Democracy,
Social Justice, Ecological Wisdom and Non-violence.
Organizing and integrating a wave of supporters like this — in time
to make a difference for our eventual presidential nominee and
down-ballot candidates across the country — takes enormous resources
and coordination. Please give to the Green Party today so a new
generation of Greens will have access to the leadership training,
campaign tools and political education necessary to win what we have
fought for over decades.
Lucy has once again yanked the football away from Charlie Brown.
The Democratic Party leadership has yet again maneuvered to smother
their own progressive wing and is already trying to lower the
expectations of those who have been radicalized by the demands of a
Green New Deal, improved and expanded Medicare-for-All and making the
1% and Wall Street pay their fair share.
We knew that was inevitable. That is why the Green Party sees
political and financial independence from the parties of War and Wall
Street as strategic necessities, no matter how much a
particular candidate's platform might overlap with ours.
We have a tremendous fight ahead of us this year — even as the
COVID-19 pandemic rages on. But we have new allies and friends joining
us. Our job is to organize them to build the power necessary
to break the duopoly by winning proportional
representation, Ranked Choice Voting and fully-public campaign
financing and continuing to elect Green candidates
along the way.
By
giving today you are fueling the growth of this party and bringing us
one step closer to winning the world we all deserve.
We admire your commitment, your support and your courage. You are
amazing.
In solidarity, Green Party of the United States
P.S. The Democrats are controlled by the 1% and Wall Street because
they are paid by the 1% and Wall Street. We don't take corporate
money, which means we rely on grassroots donations by people just like
you. Please consider becoming a
Green Party Monthly Sustainer at $10, $15 or $20
per month — whatever level you feels right for you!
