Dear Friend,
Unless this is the first email you have looked at today — in
which case, we're honored! — you are no doubt aware today is "Giving
Tuesday". Last week, we announced we're using Giving Tuesday to kick
off a year-end drive to get 100 new Green Party Monthly
Sustainers.
But before we get to that, let's check in on what the Parties
of War and Wall Street are giving us, on this "Giving Tuesday". For
starters, they haven't given us new COVID-19 relief legislation, and
the rent is due today. They haven't given this
country a chance of getting the pandemic under control. Trump, at
least, appears to have finally given up on his delusions of
re-election.
The Democratic Party's President-Elect Joe Biden has given
us...Neera
Tanden as his cabinet pick for the Office of Management and
Budget...? NEERA TANDEN? Neera. Tanden. The same Neera Tanden
who has been backing cuts to Social Security for years? Neera Tanden,
who is the epitome of the neoliberal, faux-woke, free-market-obsessed,
elitist, capitalist Democratic Party power structure that drove this
country into the arms of Trumpism?
Neera Tanden, who spent the
last four years smearing YOU as a Green Party member,
voter or ally as a traitor, an unwitting stooge or willing agent of
foreign powers, in the worst outbreak of xenophobic Left-baiting since
McCarthyism? For all of that, Joe Biden gave Neera Tanden a
promotion. Now you know what he has in store for
you over the next four years. Unless we work
together to stop him.
Friend, will you work
with us to reach our year-end goal of 100
new Green Party Monthly Sustainers? Monthly
Sustainers are so critical for having the resources to recruit, train
and run Green Party candidates to win office and win real solutions
that can't wait!
It is difficult to overstate how critical these next few
weeks and months are. Grassroots election campaigns are won
through preparation. Greens don't buy their way into
office! We need to provide training and resources to the 2021 class of
candidates ASAP. Please give today to support that effort.
The average Monthly Sustainer contribution to the Green Party
is $12.67. If we can get 100 new people contributing at that $12.67
average, we will be in great shape for 2021.
We'd be thrilled if you became a Monthly Sustainer today, at
any level, and if you spread the word to your fellow Greens and
allies.
If becoming a Monthly Sustainer does not feel like a good fit for
your right now, any amount you can contribute today will to towards
getting that next win for a Green candidate!
Giving Tuesday is great. It's important for people to take a day in
the year to reflect on the causes and organizations they want to
support.
We know, however, that creating real, lasting change is a
year-round project. That's why we're asking Greens to make this
Tuesday the first of many "Giving Tuesdays" for
2021. Help
us meet our Sustainer Drive Goal before the end 2020!
With Gratitude, The Green Party of the United States
