HIĀ ,
First, we are up against a hard-and-fast deadline to get on the ballot, and
we need your help TODAY.
PROGRESSIVES IN THESE FOLLOWING STATES WILL HAVE NO ONE TO FIGHT FOR THEM
IF WE DO NOT GET ON THE BALLOT:
* Washington needs 1,000 signatures by JULY 25, which will cost $3,000
* Arkansas needs 1000 signatures by AUGUST 3, which will cost $3,000
* Kansas needs 5000 signatures by AUGUST 3, which will cost $15,000
* Nebraska needs 2500 signatures by AUGUST 3, which will cost $7,500
WE NEED TO HIRE PETITION GATHERERS NOW TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, AND WE NEED
YOUR HELP TO RAISE THE MONEY TODAY.
Please give what you can so that we can get on the ballot in these urgent
states. [4]
We've all heard the saying that "Those who fail to learn from history are
condemned to repeat it."
In World War II, the federal government either took over or built more than
a quarter of the country's manufacturing capacity. This was done to turn
industry on a dime and build an arsenal for democracy that could rise to
defeat the greatest threat of the time: the Nazis.
The clock was ticking and we could not rely on profit incentives in the
market to meet our needs in the timeframe that we needed them met.
Now the clock is ticking again and we need to rise to meet the greatest
threat of our time: climate change.
This is exactly why the ONLY solution to overcoming this threat is that
same level of mobilization in the form of an Ecosocialist Green New Deal.
We need a truly Green economy. We need an Economic Prosperity Program that
is more than just a Climate Action Program.
We don't need to choose between jobs and the environment. The truth of the
matter is that we create jobs by correcting our relationship with the
environment.
Whether we're talking about the Rust Belt, the inner cities, or rural
America, an ECOSOCIALIST GREEN NEW DEAL IS THE QUICKEST AND MOST THOROUGH
WAY TO REVIVE OUR ECONOMIES.
But we are learning from our history too.
When World War II ended, the federal government gave control of the
factories back to the super-rich and the corporations. Instead of repeating
that, we are fighting to see that wealth spread to workers in the form of
worker co-ops that give them the FULL value of the labor that they create.
This is why we are building the Green Party and are determined to be on the
ballot in EVERY. SINGLE. STATE.
We are building the Green Party into a major party because the two major
parties right now are failing to solve our problems.
They are failing to solve the climate crisis.
They are failing to put a stop to the New Nuclear Arms Race.
They are failing to solve the crisis that each of us (80% of Americans in
fact) face every month: HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY OUR BILLS?
While we appreciate that some Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and
others have put a spotlight on these issues, there is still work to be
done. It's not enough to keep the slogans while diluting the content of the
argument.
Isn't it time for a major party that truly represents the people to be
presented as an option for voters?
The clock is ticking and we need your support if we are going to succeed.
Donate now and join our cause to create sustainable and responsible change
through an Ecosocialist Green New Deal! [4]
We are glad to have you with us! Team Howie
