Friend --
Dear Greens and Green
supporters,
First, our sincere thanks to all of
you who helped with petitioning, whether it was out in the street
collecting signatures, spreading the word on social media or sending
in a donation. GPNY accepted the challenge of collecting 45,000 valid
signatures, which meant at least 25,000 over that, to place Jill Stein
on the ballot for the Green Party. We were not going to be defeated
just because Cuomo and the Democratic majority State Legislature stole
our ballot line by passing a change in the election law under the
cover of the pandemic.?
We came so close - handing in over
42,000 signatures collected by local volunteer petitioners with help
from Greens from PA, VA, MA, CT, RI (and even ME!), along with paid
petitioners hired by GPNY and the Stein campaign. In total, over
$300,000 was spent, with $36,000 from GPNY thanks to your generous
support. We missed the mark, but it was a tremendous effort because of
each and every one of us.
It is not over. GPNY is
co-plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging several undemocratic ballot
access laws. Stay tuned for updates.?
We are just 45 Days and counting
until the General Election and we are all in on an official write-in
campaign for the Green Party presidential ticket -- Jill Stein and
Rudolph Ware.
?
We need your help to promote the
write-in campaign on social media and in your neighborhoods.? Our goal
is to have 130,000 write-in votes for Stein/Ware - the number of
votes?now required to give the
Green Party of New York a ballot line again. A statewide Get Out
the?(Write-in) Vote effort
means producing materials, coordinating volunteers and hosting local
events.?
Please donate to our people-powered
write-in campaign for Jill Stein and Rudolph Ware.?
If you are able to volunteer -
canvassing, phone calls, social media sign up here
