Jill Stein
We seek to win the White House, and increase our presence everywhere.
The principal objectives of my presidential campaign are as follows:
• Establish the Green Party as the political voice of the social movements for peace and justice, including economic, racial and ecological justice.
• Increase the diversity of the Green Party by engaging and activating Green supporters from diverse backgrounds including people of color, immigrants, and the disabled.
• Reinforce the campaigns of congressional, state, and local Green Candidates.
• End 2024 with significantly stronger state and local Green Party organizations.
• Establish the Green Party as the preeminent progressive opposition party to the bipartisan establishment in Washington.
• Make the Green Party the party of choice for young people in America.
• Multiply the Green Party vote totals several-fold over 2020.
I am committed to doing the serious organizing needed to achieve the goals of my campaign, including intensive fundraising, qualifying for federal matching funds, organizing youth on college campuses, organizing with our frontline communities, obtaining entry into the presidential debates, and running an intense media effort built on my decades of extensive contact with the media representing Green Party’s values and policies.

Jasmine Sherman
Jasmine's campaign goal is to ensure that the basic needs of every U.S. resident are met. They propose policies to end houselessness within the first 90 days, make healthcare accessible to all, eliminate SSDI restrictions on income, savings, assets, marriage, and more. Additionally, they advocate for free education, which includes reintroducing trade education into schools, and for increased accessibility to public transportation and environmentally sustainable energy.
​
Jasmine Sherman's 2024 GPUS presidential campaign would focus on several principal practical and measurable organizational goals.
Firstly, their main goal would be achieving ballot access in all 50 states, ensuring their campaign can be represented nationwide.
Secondly, they would strive to reach non-voters, aiming to engage and mobilize individuals who have traditionally abstained from participating in elections. Additionally, they would prioritize expanding mutual aid and organizing efforts, seeking to build grassroots support and community resilience.
Coalition building would also be a key objective, as Sherman's campaign would actively collaborate with like-minded organizations and individuals to amplify their message and broaden their impact.
Lastly, they would aim to continue participating in debates, as a means to present their ideas and policies to a wide audience, fostering informed discussion and dialogue.
​
The Jasmine Sherman for President campaign envisions organizing through various strategies. They aim to leverage social media and technological advancements for rapid outreach to a wider audience. Direct action and mutual aid will be prioritized to attract like-minded individuals and build a strong support base. The campaign will also focus on nurturing relationships established through past coalition-building efforts, aiming to strengthen connections and amplify the campaign's impact. By combining these approaches, Jasmine Sherman's campaign aims to effectively engage, mobilize, and expand its reach in pursuit of its organizing goals.
Jorge Zavala
I'm proud to see how my presidential campaign's plans and agenda are having a positive impact on the American people. By emphasizing inclusion and empowering individuals to make a difference, we're inspiring people to believe in themselves and their ability to create change. We're also working to strengthen democracy by encouraging people to join together, speak out, and hold Congress accountable. Additionally, our focus on eco-friendly alternatives and new green technology is resonating with the next generation, and I'm excited to see young people getting involved and shaping a better future. Through our campaign, we're demonstrating that grassroots democracy and community involvement can drive meaningful progress, and I'm honored to be a part of this movement.
​
To ensure an effective and impactful presidential campaign for the Green Party, the following organizing practices should be implemented. First, establish a strong foundation by developing a clear mission, goals, and values that resonate with voters seeking environmental stewardship and social justice. Second, prioritize inclusion and information dissemination by creating a user-friendly website that offers comprehensive policy details and encourages citizen engagement. Third, build a consistent progressive movement by leveraging social media platforms to amplify messaging, connect with supporters, and mobilize grassroots efforts. Fourth, conduct informative campaigns that educate the public about the urgency of climate change and the benefits of green technologies, emphasizing their potential to create jobs and protect the environment. Fifth, focus on achieving National ballot access for Green Party candidates in all states, enabling supporters to vote for their preferred candidate across the country. Lastly, organize events that encourage citizen involvement and support, such as rallies, town hall meetings, and public forums, demonstrating a commitment to practicing inclusive and responsive governance. By implementing these practices, the campaign can effectively unite the commonwealth behind its cause, gather support, and bring about positive change.
​
​In addition to these organizing practices, it is essential for the presidential Green campaign to establish alliances and partnerships with eco-friendly, safe, and humanitarian nonprofit organizations. By collaborating with these entities, we can cultivate participation, inclusion, and social growth. These partnerships provide opportunities to leverage shared resources and expertise, collectively addressing environmental and social challenges. Together, we can drive impactful change, promoting sustainability, social justice, and community development. By employing strong organizing practices, delegating tasks, focusing on targeted research, job creation, volunteer engagement, and forming alliances, the campaign can effectively address public concerns and forge a path towards a greener and more equitable future for all.
