If, like me, you’re interested in building a political party beyond the corporatist/oligarchic duopoly, then this Saturday’s Green Party USA gathering via Zoom might be for you!
Following is information about it (and why it’s so important) that I recently received via an e-mail from former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein.
Dear Michael,
Thank you so much for all you’ve done to bring us to this perfect storm for political change! As the Trump-Musk administration wages war on people and the planet, it’s business as usual for the Democrats, with House leader Hakeem Jeffries bowing down to Republicans proclaiming “it’s their government.” In short, organized political opposition is more urgently needed than ever. And it’s more possible than ever!
Thanks to your support, we emerged as the leading people-powered party in 2024. I’m asking for your help now to power-up this new political force. As the sole pro-worker, anti-genocide, pro-democracy party able to fight its way on the ballot for a majority of voters, we overcame unprecedented political repression, doubling our share of the vote over 2020.
Now, as the Trump-Musk team wreaks havoc on the nation and planet, as the duopoly doubles down on genocide and censorship, as the environment unravels, as inflation and recession loom – both the Democrats and Donald Trump have hit record lows in the polls! America is closer than ever to dumping duopoly.
To power up this movement, please join me for a zoom rally/fundraiser with special guests Butch Ware, Briahna Joy Gray, Adam McKay, Sabby Sabbs, Ron Placone, Zakir Saddiki and Patrick Dillon on Saturday, May 10 at 8:00 p.m. ET. RSVP here.
With your help, we can come out swinging for Medicare for All, a $25 minimum wage, rent control, social housing, free public higher education, a Green New Deal, expanded social security, taxing the rich, restoring Trump’s cuts to critical infrastructure; breaking the stranglehold of big money on politics, ending endless war and genocide in Palestine and beyond, banning nuclear weapons and moving from a foreign policy based on militarism to a new era of international law, human rights and diplomacy.
Watch my video about how we can build the 2024 momentum:
That is why I am asking you to not only join me on May 10th, but also to pitch in now. Your contribution will enable us to hire urgently needed core staff - a communications director, a fundraising director and a ballot access-political director. This is essential to let people know they have a people-powered choice in the Green Party.
Whether you contribute $5 or $500 or even more, your donation is invaluable. Considering our dire trajectory under the rule of billionaires, your contribution is arguably the best investment one can possibly make in rescuing the future for our children and ourselves.
Please seize the moment by making a contribution today.
Having emerged in 2024 as the #1 people-powered political alternative, it’s a moral imperative to keep building momentum NOW to end genocide, dismantle empire, overcome oligarchy, rescue the planet, and fight fascism.
Your support makes all the difference. Together we can create an America and a world that works for all of us.
In gratitude and solidarity,
