Friend --
NCGP WINS BALLOT ACCESS, BUT THE ATTACKS
CONTINUE!
Cochair Tony Ndege, candidates Michael Trudeau, Matthew Hoh
and Joshua Bradley with NC Green Party members in front of the State
Board of Elections on August 8, 2022
Have you heard our great news? The
North Carolina Green Party has won two historic victories in the
courts against the wrongful actions of the NC State Board of Elections
(SBOE) and the NC Democratic Party's unconstitutional attempts to keep
us off the ballot! On August 1st, the SBOE certified the North
Carolina Green Party as an official political party and subsequently,
the court ordered the SBOE to add our candidates Matthew Hoh for US Senate and Michael Trudeau for NC State Senate,
District 16 (more information to come soon) to the ballot this
November. Victory is sweet but vindication is sweeter..
BUT THE ATTACKS ON OUR DEMOCRATIC AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT
TO RUN CANDIDATES KEEP COMING FROM DEMOCRATS! WE NEED YOUR
HELP!
The NC Green Party won the first
rounds, but we are facing
unprecedented legal attacks in our effort to get on the ballot after
having more than fulfilled all legal requirements set by
statute. The NC Democratic Party is suing both NCGP
and the SBOE at the state level and the DSCC and national-level
Democrats are appealing the Federal Judge’s order. Unfortunately these legal challenges could last for
over a year, challenging future ballot access. In
addition to this, the harassment and intimidation campaign has
seriously damaged our ability to petition in the future. If money
rather than truth determines our future, we are lost, so we need your
help to defend our work on behalf of the people who believe in real
democracy! Our party is centered around people, not money.
Please contribute what you can to our legal fund and
show the moneyed powered elite that grassroots politics is alive and
well in North Carolina.
The North Carolina Green Party is
the only political party in our state truly interested in protecting
people’s interests and the environment for a livable future. You can
help by making a contribution to our Ballot
Access Legal Fund.

Carolina Green Party today and help grow our party run completely by
