Friend—

Today is #GivingTuesday, and we're sure you're seeing many requests for contributions from many organizations. Our wish is that you have the good fortune, this year, to be able to support all of the issues and work that matter deeply to you. Giving to the Green Party today will support the training of candidates and organizers needed to win a transformative Green New Deal and secure a more sustainable and just future for generations to come.

There's no other organization like the Green Party in this country. We are the only political party that has refused corporate money from the very start, secured ballot lines in dozens of states to reach millions of voters, and fights tirelessly to democratize elections for all independent candidates and voters. The Green Party's story is unique and our mission is essential.

And so today, in addition to your generous contribution, would you also share your unique story to your community telling why you support the Green Party and why our mission matters to you?

We'd love to hear about the first Green candidate or issue campaign you supported, or the first time you learned there was an alternative to the parties of war, racism and Wall Street — and the hope that gave you.

You can tag us on Twitter and Facebook using @GreenPartyUS. And we'd love for you to share the above animation, which you can download here. Your story will help others understand why you are giving to the Green Party and share the spark that leads to action!

Think about what you want to see out of a Real Green New Deal: not just another "green jobs" program, but a massive investment in energy democracy, economic democracy and public services to sustainably meet the needs of our communities and country. Now think of the people power we need to win that better way of life, and the organizing we must do to build that people power. That is what your #GivingTuesday contribution will support. That is why we need your gift today.

Happy #GivingTuesday!

p.s. ...and the giving doesn't have to stop today! You can easily set up a Monthly Sustainer contribution at whatever level works for you. The year-round support we receive from Monthly Sustainers is the foundation we rely on to strategically plan campaigns and organizing initiatives to reach the next level.
