the Zoom app
at Zoom.us. Here
is a 1-minute video on how to join a Zoom
call.)
We've had great turn-out for our
Statewide Hawkins/Walker Volunteer Zoom meetings so far! Our
volunteers have placed hundreds of Hawkins/Walker campaign signs
throughout the state. Dozens of volunteers are helping from every
corner of the state! Please join us. We still need help placing signs,
placing door hangers, and with many other tasks.
Our first meetings have been so
successful that we will decided to have weekly Zoom calls every
Wednesday evening. They should typically be at
8PM!
If you cannot attend but
still want to volunteer, you can let us know by signing up at
www.ncgreenparty.org/h20.
Let's get out the vote for Green Party candidates Howie
Hawkins and Angela Walker! It is critical to all Green Party
supporters who want our candidates to succeed to be present at our
organizing meeting or to sign up to volunteer! Why?
The only way to ensure automatic ballot access through 2024
for the NCGP is for our candidates, Howie Hawkins and Angela Walker,
to win at least 2% of the vote for president in
2020.
Our target voting
demographic certainly aren't “stealing” votes from anyone—they are
people who want something different and have no faith in continuing
the same failed strategies; they're people who are fed up with our
undemocratic electoral system. Break the two-party system!
The past two federal elections have
cost more than eleven billion dollars. Unlike the corporate political
mafias that rule our elections, offer empty politics, and call
themselves parties, the NCGP is a real member-driven
party.
We will be earning votes for our
candidates, and we are confident that a large percentage of potential
voters are our base. Our base includes people who are fed up
with our rigged elections and people who are fed up with corporate
politicians who serve rich donors and Wall St. lobbyists and war
profiteers. Our base also includes people who are less than
enthusiastic about voting for politics-as-usual and for politicians
who betray their platform. None of our most urgent problems will be
significantly addressed by either a President Biden or a President
Trump. The same corporate media that viciously attacked attempts by
Sanders supporters to pull the Democrats toward even mild reforms is
using these fear tactics and virtual blackouts of independent
candidates. This tells us what we already know: that we need to stand
even stronger for what we want, and that's real change!
DONATE TO OUR 2020 NCGP
CAMPAIGN DRIVE!
We're fundraising to get out the
vote for the Howie Hawkins and Angela Walker presidential ticket in
North Carolina and to increase NC Green Party registration! Our goal:
win at least 2% of the vote for Hawkins/Walker in our state.
Two percent means the NCGP automatically retains its
ballot line for 4 more years to run Green candidates. Otherwise we may lose ballot
access for several months or longer, and we will be required to
collect tens of thousands of petition signatures.
Donate
now to help us organize for H20—and to build the
North Carolina Green Party.
The two major parties have utterly failed the people and the planet.
Help us build our own political power independent of the two
capitalist parties!

-
-
- Increasing voter registration and candidate interest for
2020–2024.
