Dear Friend,



Last night, Maine candidate for U.S. Senate Lisa Savage absolutely nailed it in her second debate appearance. Here are some of the reactions from social media:



“Really grateful to have a candidate that is strongly advocating for the legislation that my generation desperately wants to see enacted in Congress!”



“Thank you for focusing on what you stand for and will try to do instead of tearing down your opponents. I have been wishing for such a candidate for a very long time...”



“This debate was the first exposure I have had to you. Very good and insightful answers. Also I was impressed with the self control and composure all three of you women maintained as you endured angry sexist attacks.”



One reason Lisa's campaign has been able to break through the usual "GreenOut" is the election will be voted on using Ranked Choice Voting — which Mainers fought for and won over years. Will you give to the Green Party today so we can continue supporting movements to democratize our elections — not just with RCV but also Proportional Representation and Fully-Public Campaign Finance? <[link removed]>



I encourage you to watch and share Lisa's debate performance from last night. <[link removed]>It's a world apart from the undemocratic, duopoly-arranged "debate" scheduled for Trump and Biden this evening.



The exclusion of Howie Hawkins and other alternative party candidates from presidential debates is one more form of voter suppression we've seen in 2020, adding to petitioning during a pandemic and then kangaroo court decisions to invalidate our petitions.



The Hawkins/Walker campaign will be active on Twitter <[link removed]> tonight, responding to the farcical "debate". And definitely do not miss Howie's live response starting at 11pm ET on Facebook <[link removed]>, Twitter and other social media.



Are you sick of presidential debates that silence voices and voter choices? Then we need to organize, fight and win. Power concedes nothing without a demand, right? Donate today so the demand of Grassroots Democracy becomes tomorrow's reality. <[link removed]>



DONATE <[link removed]>In Solidarity,

P.S. Time for some real talk. Greens have been profoundly supportive this year, and we're grateful. But COVID-19 hurt household incomes across the country and that meant many of our Monthly Sustainers <[link removed]> had to take a break from contributing monthly. Those contributions are the backbone of our grassroots fundraising. If you have ever thought about becoming a Monthly Sustainer — now is the time when you could a have huge impact! <[link removed]> Thank you to all current Sustainers and everyone who supports the Green Party however they can.
