Dear
Friend,
As a supporter of the Green Party of the United States, you know
how important it is to have a political system that truly represents
the will of the people. Unfortunately, our current voting systems are
riddled with problems that make it an up-hill battle for Greens to win
against the parties of War and Wallstreet. That's why we're asking for
your support on this Ranked Choice Voting Day!
"Ranked choice voting is an idea
whose time has come. Since 2020, the number of jurisdictions that have
approved ranked choice voting has grown from two dozen to OVER 100! It is a reform we
are winning. NOW is
the time to build on this
momentum."
-Howie Hawkins, 2020 Green
Party Presidential
Candidate

Ranked choice voting (RCV), puts to rest the duopoly's favorite
attacks to use against the Green Party. With ranked choice voting
there is no "spoiler effect" or "wasted vote" argument they can wield
against us. Under RCV, everyone can
vote their values. We've seen in races like Lisa Savage's 2020 Senate
run in Maine and Cameron Gordon's several City Council elections in
Minneapolis how this voting system can reduce negative campaigning, increase turnout, and help Green Party candidates
win.
"Public polling shows 70% of voters say they want more political parties
to choose from on their ballots. Educating the electorate and
popularizing ranked choice voting, along with other electoral reforms,
in order to make RCV a reality, is an important first step in helping
to repair, strengthen, and expand our democracy. We need YOUR
SUPPORT to do this."
-Matthew Hoh, 2022 North
Carolina Green Party Congressional Candidate

RCV has been proven to work in cities and states across the
country, and it's time for the rest of the United States to catch up.
By supporting the Green Party, you're helping support our platform and
values. With your support we can help end the stigma of voting your
values and bring new voters into the ballot box.
Together we can show the parties of War and Wallstreet that
they can't "steal" a vote that was never theirs to begin with.
