Friend – I want to show you what we just had to go through to get on
the ballot in Indiana. 👇 |

Trust me, it’s even crazier than it
looks.
First it was days
of organizing forms by county and checking each page for
errors.
Then, yesterday
morning, our team submitted around 55,000 signatures to get Jill on
the ballot. To turn everything in by the Noon deadline, we needed 15
drivers, each doing routes of 4+ stops. All of it was coordinated to
deliver the first batch as soon as offices opened at 8am to make the
rest of the deliveries in time.
But we did it.
The next step is to pick them up again
before July 15th and hope that we have enough valid signatures
accepted (37,000) to turn in to the Secretary of State in
Indianapolis.
We can
expect that the Democratic Party of Indiana will instantly file a
lawsuit challenging the validity of our signatures and our inclusion
on the ballot. That’s what they’ve done in Nevada and
Illinois.
They’ll do it
in every state – even in red states like Indiana where they know they
will not win – because the purpose is to drain our funds and push us
to give up.
And that’s where you come
in.
If you’ve been
tracking our ballot access progress the last few months, you may have
noticed Oklahoma sticks out from the sea of green: |

I know that number looks ridiculous.
Frankly, it IS ridiculous.
But if we’re doing simple math here, $35K is only
a fraction of what we’ve had to spend on professional canvassing
services to get the necessary signatures for some
states.
I’d rather we
put that money into paying more ground staff and giving working class
folks a chance to shape their future with a candidate who will fight
for them.
But this is
where we are. And the people of Oklahoma deserve to have a pro-planet,
pro-worker, pro-peace, anti-genocide candidate to vote
for.
I
need your help to raise the funds for this fee so we can get Jill on
the ballot in Oklahoma. Whether you give $5, $50, or $500, it all adds
up to a movement they can’t ignore.
There is nothing democratic about this
ballot access process. Like everything about our political system,
it’s designed to guarantee that the people with the most money can
always buy their way past the finish line.
I’m incredibly proud of this team –
especially our supervolunteers in Indiana who pulled off the
impossible this week.
Their hard work and your support for this campaign has brought
us this far. We will keep going all the way to the White House and
fight for the future we deserve.
In solidarity,
