Dear Virginia Greens,
I just donated another $50 to Jill Stein 2016. Jill has asked me to ask
you to contribute also, as she is just shy of the contributions needed
to qualify for federal matching funds in her campaign for the Green
Party presidential nomination.

Dear Audrey --
Season’s greetings from the campaign trail! After the whirlwind of the
last 2 months, including 7 states and 2 international gatherings, it’s
clearer than ever that the peaceful rebellion is gathering steam.
I’ve never seen so many people ready to break free of the corrupt
two-party system, and work together to build an independent political
movement for people, planet, and peace over profit.
As urgently as we need this movement – it’s also clear that it will only
happen if people like you and me make it happen together. We are now on
the verge of qualifying for federal matching funds, which will massively
increase our campaign’s ability to reach the millions of Americans who
are looking for a new political home!
Will you give what you can today to help me power up my campaign
for 2016?

To clarify the historic opportunities ahead, let me share some
excitement from the campaign trail:
Maine:
I was honored to speak at a peace rally at Bath Iron Works, protesting
the launch of a $1.5 billion Aegis Destroyer. I shared the news that a
Green New Deal will convert factories like Bath Iron Works to wind,
solar, and rail production rather than wasting trillions of dollars on
weapons and wars that are making us less secure abroad and more
impoverished at home.
Boston:
I spoke at the Million Student March at Northeastern University, part of
a national day of action with over 100 campuses taking part. The
students were supercharged to hear that with over 43 million carrying
college debt, they have the numbers to take over the election, and the
power to take their future back – by getting out the millennial vote to
support the only campaign committed to canceling student debt.

Baltimore:
I joined Rev. Westley West, a leader in Baltimore’s Black Lives Matter
movement, for one of the most exciting city council campaign launches
I’ve ever attended, including power chants as we marched through the
streets, gathering strength along the way as people came out of their
homes to join us!

Another highlight was joining Dr. Margaret Flowers, Maryland’s Green
candidate for Senate, to serve the people - drinks, that is - at a
meet-and-greet. It's such an honor to see Dr. Flowers, renown advocate
for Medicare for All, leading the charge for the Green political power
our movement deserves.

North Carolina:
Thanks to Michael Trudeau and the North Carolina Greens, I had a
fantastic tour through the state with the most anti-democratic ballot
access laws in the country – visiting a campus at every stop. Despite
years of rule by Tea Party Republicans, I heard from so many North
Carolinians that they are ready to break free of the two-party system
entirely, rather than return power to the lackluster Democrats in their
state who enabled the GOP’s rise.
New York:
I had the honor of keynoting the Green Business Summit in NYC held by
the New American Chamber of Commerce, a coalition of African-American,
Asian, Latino, and Caribbean American small businesses. It was so
exciting to see, once again, communities of color are leading the charge
for just, sustainable, community-based economies.

Georgia:
I had the honor of speaking at a gathering to end immigrant detentions
and deportations, which included the largest rally ever held at School
of the Americas Watch! As the refugee crisis swells to unprecedented
proportions, it's so inspiring to see so many people standing up for the
human rights of immigrants, and to end predatory US policies that are
creating millions of refugees to start with–corporate trade deals, drug
wars, regime change, and wars, occupations, and their terrorist backlash.
It was inspirational to join with Dr. Cornel West at our “Un-Block the
Vote” rally, to ensure that African Americans have not only a right to
vote, but to have full and fair choice of who to vote for.

I'd like to give a big shout out to my Georgia/North Carolina host,
Bruce Dixon, editor of the Black Agenda Report and our Deputy Campaign
Manager, for leading the charge for racial justice all over the country
- and for being the role model he is for me and so many others.
We are working hard for ballot access across the country so that
we can achieve justice and real democracy for all Americans - will
you donate today to help us give millions more the opportunity to
vote for a people powered campaign?

Paris and Moscow:
Given recent events, a whole series of crises were converging in Paris -
climate, war and terrorist blowback. Despite the failure of the COP to
rein in climate change, the atmosphere was transcendent as people
reached out across national boundaries and issue silos like I’ve never
seen. You could sense a collective vision emerging from across the
planet, of a world based on human rights, international law and respect
for Mother Earth.
While in Paris I spoke with both the inspirational leader of the UK
Labor Party, Jeremy Corbyn, and powerhouse Green MP, Caroline Lukas.
Both expressed enormous support for our calls for a Peace Offensive to
end Middle East wars and stop terrorism in its tracks, and for a Green
New Deal to create 100% clean renewable energy by 2030 and ensure
climate justice. We agreed to continue exploring a collaboration to
galvanize the international Peace Offensive.
After Paris I headed to Moscow to continue the conversation at an RT
gathering that brought together international leaders, independent
press, security analysts and democracy advocates.
I spoke with Russian leaders, including the head of foreign affairs
for Russia’s parliament, about ways the US and Russia could lead the way
on global nuclear disarmament, peace in the Middle East, and military
divestment. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s reaction

my panel discussion about a Peace Offensive was extremely interesting -
and encouraging.
In my discussions with activists and leaders from the UK, Germany,
China, India, Italy, France, Russia, and indigenous US tribes - it was
clear that Greens in general, and our campaign in particular, can play a
powerful role galvanizing global solidarity for a new way forward.
I returned home more determined than ever to help build the movement for
Democracy and Justice that is not only national, but also international
and within our reach!
As this year draws to a close, I'm thrilled at how much we’ve
accomplished with your tireless support, and what world-changing
opportunities lie ahead - as I discussed in my recent interview with
Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks.

Can you give today to make 2016 the turning point we so urgently
need to create a world that works for all of us - that puts
people, planet, and peace over profit?

Thank you for all that you do, and I wish you and your loved ones peace,
health and happiness in the new year.
It’s in our hands!
