In 2002 the Green Party expanded to 39 affiliated state parties and the District of Columbia. Thanks to the donations of over 6000 Green supporters, we opened a national office in Washington, DC, increased our visibility in the media, ran a Campaign and Fundraising School for our candidates, ran and elected more Greens than ever before and organized opposition to the war all over the country. There are now more than 175 Greens in office, including our first state legislator, in Maine, and a Native American mayor, in Minnesota.

In 2003, the Green Party plans to increase our organizing staff, sponsor a series of regional workshops on campaigning and fundraising skills, increase our outreach to the diverse communities of this country, to strengthen our ties to the 100 other Green Parties around the world, and most of all, help build the anti-war movement so important to our country and the world. However, we can only implement these activities with your help.

Please consider joining our 1000 For 1000 Campaign (click to read more about this campaign), designed to help us raise our first $1 million. The 1000 For 1000 Campaign unites small, medium and large donors in a single fundraising effort, by allowing donations from as little as $10/month for 100 months, all the way up to a single donation of $1000 or more. Click here to view the various options. Your 1000 For 1000 donation can also be shared with your state Green Party, assuming your party is affiliated with the USGP and state law allows (most do). Just check off the box that indicates this when you make your 1000 For 1000 donation. 

We know that some people cannot afford to give even $10 month to the Green Party, or are not ready to do so at this time. And we know that some contributors can give more than $1000, even up to $20,000 (the maximum we allow if you share half with your state party). We ask that all people give based on their ability to donate, as our continued growth depends on this. 

Please donate the amount you are comfortable giving. Whatever amount you give, it will be greatly appreciated and put to good use. 

Whichever amount you choose to donate, you will be giving a great boost to building your party and showing that we can raise the money necessary - without taking a penny from corporations or PACs - to run serious, platform-based campaigns with credible Green Party candidates. With the United States at permanent war and our constitutional rights at risk, there has never been a greater need than now for the Green Party.

A Message From Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky

Dear Green Party Supporter,

Ralph Nader's campaign for President in 2000 sent out a powerful message: that conservative, DLC-dominated Democrats are not good enough for us. And Nader's Super Rallies gave us the thrilling experience of knowing that despite being ignored by the mainstream press, we are not alone - we have the power.

The 2000 campaign built the Green Party at the grassroots and gave all progressives a real alternative to the mainstream politics - a stream that is drifting much too far to the right. Now the Greens have much work to do, many coalitions to build, and much organizing to do to realize the dream that the Nader campaign gave us and that those Super Rallies made us feel.

Please help in any way you can so that the next generation's People's History of the United States tells a much different story.

Signed,
Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky
