Dear Friend,



Despite efforts by the New York State Democratic Party and their functionaries to silence us, we have broken through to the media with this campaign's message of Inclusive Democracy, a Green New Deal, and an Economic Bill of Rights. We ask that you share this important news coverage to your community, families and allies:



- Capital Tonight Video: Green Party wages daunting write-in campaign to win back ballot access in New York <[link removed]>





- Albany Times Union Op-Ed: Kathy Hochul, Lee Zeldin and nobody else <[link removed]>



"Walk into any supermarket and you’ll find a variety of breakfast cereals to match nearly any taste. Shop online and you can select, say, shoes to meet your idiosyncratic preferences.



This is what we've come to expect in this age of choice. Almost everywhere there are alternatives to the same-old boring whatever. Nearly everywhere, we have options to satisfy every niche, variety that feels infinite and empowering.



Everywhere, except at the ballot box..."





- The New York Times: For First Time Since 1946, New Yorkers Have Just 2 Choices for Governor <[link removed]>



"...this year, for the first time in over 75 years, the state ballot appears destined to offer only two choices: Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, and Representative Lee Zeldin, a Republican.



The paucity of options is largely due to former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who championed changes in election law two years ago that made it far more difficult for third parties to get on the ballot. The changes to ballot access law tripled the number of voter signatures required for groups to get on the November ballot and forced political parties to qualify every two years instead of four."





- Focus on Albany Video: A conversation with Howie Hawkins about the campaign for Governor <[link removed]>



The Times nails the issue: Cuomo, Hochul, and their Legislature Lackeys have brought democracy in New York to a 75-year low. And the bar was already disgracefully low.



But we can beat this and make our elections more fair and equitable than ever — with your help. We ask that you donate to this campaign today so we can continue fighting through Election Day. <[link removed]>



And, speaking of Election Day, we ask that you take a moment to look at how you will need to write in our names for Governor and Lt. Governor, and to share this information with voters:
