Dear Friend,

Thank you so very much!  

In the wake of a $14 billion dollar election, more corrupted than ever by big money from billionaires, bankers, big tech and the usual suspects — I’m deeply grateful for your support for the party of people, planet and peace. Your help for our candidates has been heroic in the face of repression and smears targeting us as the sole non-corporate, national-scale opposition party — a true sign we’ve arrived as a force to contend with!

It’s clearer than ever: we Greens are the remedy to America’s sick political system. That’s why I’m writing at this pivotal moment to ask: Will you “contribute to a cure” for this dehumanizing, planet-destroying corporate political system by becoming a Green Party Monthly Sustainer today?

This week will make-or-break our Year-End, Monthly Sustainers Drive. We’ve made excellent progress toward the goal of 100 new Monthly Sustainers before the end of December, but we still have a ways to go. Help push us over the line!

After decades of rule by two parties serving Wall Street and the war machine, we face crises on virtually all fronts. 1 in 8 are hungry^[i]; 12 million lost health insurance along with their jobs (adding to 87 million already lacking adequate coverage)^[ii]; 40 million are at risk for eviction^[iii]. And despite nearly 300,000 pandemic deaths and a COVID Great Depression, the Congressional duopoly is still withholding a second COVID relief package.

As the Democrats continue to silence and shame their own progressives, while Biden appoints warmongers and deficit hawks to his Cabinet, it’s clear that progressive change won’t come from the Democratic Party. Biden flatly stated this in his promise to Wall Street donors that “nothing will fundamentally change.”

Congressional progressives are now refusing to use their make-or-break votes in Pelosi’s leadership bid to force a measly vote on Medicare for All – a policy 70% of Americans support and which is essential to solving the COVID crisis. This political cowardice is the ultimate reality check on the illusion that progressive Democrats will cure what ails us.

We Greens, on the other hand, are the “political medicine” we’ve been waiting for, including our agenda for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, free college, student debt bailout, a demilitarized foreign policy and Ranked Choice Voting.

But cures, as you know, require resources. The most powerful funding program we have is Monthly Sustainer contributions from Greens like you, contributing what you can afford, over the course of the year. I’m asking you to become a Green Party Monthly Sustainer today.

Converging crises make the Green vision more critical than ever. The widespread rejection of politics as usual^[iv][v] makes this vision more possible than ever. Please pitch in to help move the Green agenda forward, and make 2021 the year we bring a wave of new Greens into elected office. Thank you so much!

Dr. Jill Stein
2016 and 2012 Green Party Nominee for President

P.S. If becoming a Monthly Sustainer does not work for you right now I would still be very grateful for a one-time contribution at whatever level you can afford today. Every contribution helps the Green Party. Thank you.
