Dear Friend --
Two years ago, disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo and the
Legislature worked to pass legislation designed to kill the Green
Party.
Because of that, we lost our ballot line — but we’re still
here and ready to fight to get it back!
To do that, we need 45,000 signatures for our gubernatorial
slate — and we have six weeks, starting today!
Our gubernatorial slate are longtime champions of the
ecosocialist Green New Deal, Howie Hawkins and Gloria
Mattera!
Howie and Gloria helped us regain our ballot line in 2010,
and they want to help us do it again in 2022.
But — we need your help to do so.
Can
you make a donation to the GPNY petitioning fund? We have several paid
petitioners ready to hit the streets this week but to add more and
keep it going for the full 6 weeks additional funds are
needed.
Can you help us as a volunteer petitioner? We can provide you
with petition forms and training, contact us if you’d like to help
this way.
Remember, we need the Green Party on the ballot if we want
candidates that talk about the need for an immediate, just transition
to a renewable economy through an ecosocialist Green New Deal and
desperately-needed reforms like Universal Public Healthcare and a
Stock Transfer Tax to fund social programs.
The Green ticket will be the only
gubernatorial ticket campaigning for these reforms — and others like
Fair Ballot Access, Ranked Choice Voting for statewide offices, and
Proportional Representation in the legislature.
If the Greens are not on the ballot, voters
will be left with a choice between a center-right corporate Democrat
and a far-right Republican extremist. Let's make sure New Yorkers can
vote for the progressive Green alternative.
In Solidarity, The Green Party of NY
