Detroit Greens a local of the Green Party of Michigan

The temperatures are near 100 in Illinois this week. In the Carbondale area, they've been working the local fairs. In Chicago, they are sleeping 10 to a room and putting in long days across the city. From Rockford to Champaign Urbana, volunteers for Jill Stein and the Green Party are pushing hard to put Illinois on the ballot.

We are closing in on the minimum signature threshold right now. But we need many more signatures to guarantee the Illinois Greens a ballot line. This is after all, still Illinois, and still 21st century America, where different rules apply to different people. We must have a large safety margin to make sure that partisan election administrators don't deny us the ballot.

Your donation right now will help win Illinois. We are sending volunteers from across the country to Chicago and other cities. We are providing a minimal daily stipend for food and public transportation expenses. We have rented an apartment for two weeks so that volunteers are in one place and have a place to stay. And we will bring in additional paid petitioners if we can afford to do so. Your donation can put Illinois on ballot. Please donate now.

We are also closing in on securing matching funds for our Double Your Green campaign. We've provided the latest matching funds map and donation numbers right here.

Illinois is not the only the state that needs your help to get on the ballot. We have just 10 days to secure federal matching funds. Once we have them, we can win not only Illinois, but also ballot lines in another 20 states.
