Dear Friend,
We are reaching out to you today to
ask for your help to get the North Carolina Green Party back on the
ballot for 2021 and beyond. We believe that most voters want more
electoral choices, not less. We hope you agree. Will you help us by
signing our petition and asking your friends and family to
sign?
OUR BALLOT ACCESS PETITION DRIVE HAS BEGUN
According to current state law, the
NC Green Party is required to petition North Carolina registered
voters in order to get back on the ballot and retain our Green Party
voter registration status. If we collect 15,000 approved signatures
from NC registered voters by early June, we will retain our party
registration and regain our Green Party ballot line.
HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP
-
Download and print the NCGP Ballot
Access Petition. An easy
start is by signing it yourself and asking friends and family to
sign.
-
Read our Tips,
Instructions, and Script
for collecting signatures. It is very important that you follow the
instructions. For example: You need to write the relevant county name
at the top of each petition sheet, in pen, and then signers of that
sheet must be registered to vote in that county—so you will need
several sheets and will need to write different county names at the
tops, depending on who signs the petition.
-
Sign up to petition on our Petitioning
Page and share it with
your friends and family and ask them to sign up too. When you
sign up to petition, we'll invite you to join our Slack workspace for
petitioners.
-
Send a prewritten email
to Gov. Cooper, asking
him to grant us petitioning relief during Covid if you haven't
already. Because we shouldn't have to petition during a global
pandemic in the first place.
-
Make
a donation toward our
petitioning drive. We've received a $5,000 grant from the Green Party
of the United States, but we'd like to double it to pay for materials
and stipends for petitioners who will commit to gathering 150 or more
signatures.
-
Order NCGP
merchandise to look like
a pro while petitioning. Right
now we have baseball-style caps. T-shirts will be available
soon.
- Attend
one of our next organizing meetings!
Once you have collected your
signatures, please mail the petition sheets to:
NCGP Petition Drive
PO Box 6022 Cary, NC 27519
We can do this with your
help!
In Solidarity with People and
Planet,
NC Green Party
