Hi ,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:
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. 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. 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. We are glad to have you with us! Team Howie
