You have the power to help bring a fresh
message to Massachusetts voters
Do you wish you could hear statewide candidates in this year’s
election address the matters that you care about? If so, you’ll be
pleased to hear that it’s actually happening.
(L-R) Danny, Ian, and Merelice outside the recently closed North
Adams Regional Hospital, the only hospital in northwestern Mass. The
candidates called for the hospital's reopening, stating that health
care is a human right and should be more easily accessible.
You can be very proud of the three statewide candidates that
the Green-Rainbow Party has nominated for the November ballot. They
are Danny Factor for Secretary of the Commonwealth, Ian Jackson for Treasurer, and Merelice for Auditor. Last week, they began an
official campaign rollout with a “listening launch” in the Berkshires
where they heard from community members and leaders on food security,
transportation needs, health-care access, expanded recycling, and
opposition to a fracked-gas pipeline across the state.
Your candidates have already:
- Received positive coverage from public radio, newspapers, and
TV.
- Been featured speakers at rallies and events statewide.
- Collected over 1,000 signatures to place their names on the
ballot.
While Danny, Ian, and Merelice are working hard to reflect
your interests and values, they need your support to keep the momentum
going. The immediate priority is to collect 10,000 voter
signatures. If you can spend an hour or two either with a petitioning
team or on your own, it would be a tremendous contribution. We can
provide you with a list of party members in your district to join a
group effort.
To volunteer, contact Siggy Meilus at sigute...@gmail.com. Petitioning is fun and
you'll enjoy being out with your team members. You can also request
blank petitions for your individual use or to circulate among friends.
Let’s get it done!
With your support, Danny, Ian, and Merelice can continue talking
about the issues that other candidates are ducking. Because of them,
you’ll hear about the need to:
Invest in the right of every
person to enjoy economic security, healthy living, and love.
- Keep corporate money from undermining our democracy.
- Address climate change with green, living-wage jobs.
- Establish a state bank that is too good to fail.
- Oppose mass incarceration that deprives both individuals and
society of creative and productive participation.
Campaign contributions are another great way to show
support. Each candidate’s web site provides a link with information on
ways to contribute. Whether your contribution is $5 or $500 (the
maximum allowed), it helps us hire staff, purchase signs, and pay for
postage.
The Green-Rainbow Party slate is speaking up for people, planet,
and peace. To see what the media are saying about the campaigns, check
