Friend,
The polls will begin closing on the East
Coast soon, and I wanted to take a moment to celebrate all that we
achieved together over the last year.
We built a
movement so powerful that the DNC set up an entire war room just to
try and knock us down – with
a budget and staff levels equivalent to our entire
campaign.
They harassed
us with expensive lawsuits to kick us off the ballot. They
marginalized and smeared us in the media. They posted jobs seeking
people to manage spies and infiltrators to mess up our campaign (which
they took offline when exposed).
They even launched an attack ad against us –
something they’d never done for any third party contender
before.
It backfired
madly. Every time they pounced, their attack dogs
– AOC, DNC chair Jaime Harrison, Thom Hartman, Angela Rye and more –
were ridiculed and dragged on social media.
As a result, a whole new
multiracial, multigenerational coalition of voters, organizers, and
activists have joined forces with the Green Party – and that coalition will only
grow.
Our campaign made
connections and built relationships with powerhouse anti-genocide
activists, especially in the Muslim and Arab American community; the
student movement; the reawakened antiwar movement; and the liberated
labor movement with Workers Strike Back and Kshama
Sawant.
Just this week
Middle East Eye reported that the Democratic party shuffled $400,000
to the Uncommitted Movement in an apparent effort to buy their silence
and guarantee they would not endorse any candidate opposing
Harris.
These tactics
will not work. Opposition to the Democratic leadership has hardened
over this administration’s unforgivable crimes in
Gaza.
This is our
moment. The pressure will continue to build for the political
transformation that the American people demand.
The political elites will continue to tell
you that resistance is futile. Ignore them.
In 2020, one in three eligible voters
refused to vote for either major party presidential candidate,
particularly young people, people of color, and people of lower
income. Exactly the people our agenda speaks
to.
The vast majority of voters are calling for
a political alternative like us, one that serves the greater good
instead of the economic elites.
The Democrats are quaking in their boots
that the public is discovering us. They will be shocked to see how
much our coalition grows as more voters discover they actually have a
choice for the future they deserve.
We have the solutions to end genocide and
empire; to adopt a foreign policy based on international law, human
rights and diplomacy; to reverse the climate emergency; to reverse
wealth inequality and invest in human thriving; to dismantle systems
of oppression and build a society rooted in justice, freedom, and
equity.
Our movement for
people, planet, and peace is aligned with the values and priorities of
the American people, and we have the numbers we need to transform our
future.
We just have to
get the word out to the millions of Americans who reject the failed
status quo, and bring them into our movement.
Everything we have achieved together is a
victory for working families, for justice, for peace and a future
where all of us can thrive.
Thank you for your
unwavering support and for helping us build an America and a world
that works for all of us. We will only get stronger from
here.
Together, we’re
unstoppable!
In
solidarity and gratitude,
Jill
