HI?,

I am writing to request your help to put the Green Party back on the ballot
in New York.

We need 45,000 good signatures in 42 days by May 31. Thanks to a Ballot
Access Exclusion Law rammed through by the Democrats at the request of
disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo as part of the state budget package
in April 2020 while we were in Covid lockdown, New York now has the most
difficult [8] ballot access requirements of any state or nation in the
world.

We have a good start on signatures. The party and our campaign together
have raised $30,000 to support the paid petitioners that we need to
supplement our party volunteers. We now need to raise another $30,000 to
keep our paid petitioners going the remaining three weeks.

We also ask for your help in gathering signatures. We just won an
injunction against New York's ban on out-of-state petitioners, so you can
help if you are out of state as well as in state.

So please donate [9] and volunteer [10].

As you will see on the donate and volunteer pages of the
www.hawkinsmatter.org [11] website, I have been nominated by the Green
Party of New York to run for Governor along with Gloria Mattera for
Lieutenant Governor. Gloria is a public hospital health worker who assists
children and immigrants. She is a longtime campaigner for universal public
health care, peace, labor, and the environment.

We paired up as a ticket to successfully restore the Green Party ballot
line in 2010 and we intend to do it again in 2020. If we can petition on to
the ballot and then receive at least 2% of the vote, probably at least
150,000 votes, Greens will have a ballot line through the 2024 election.

We are facing a centrist corporate Democrat and a far-right Republican
extremist. This dynamic sets up the opportunity for a big progressive vote
for the Green ticket in November.

Winning back the Green ballot line in New York will be big help for whoever
is the Green 2024 presidential ticket, which would be able to focus its
resources on ballot access in other states. So we all have a stake in this
ballot access drive.

We need your help immediately. Please donate [9] and volunteer [10].

For an Inclusive Democracy,

Howie Hawkins
