We have many ways to win, and every vote is a win that helps to achieve our goals in this election, including winning the White House, growing the Green Party, and building power for a new kind of politics for people, planet, and peace.
Top Goal:
Turn the White House Green
Through our prolific ballot access efforts, the Stein/Ware campaign is eligible for 508 Electoral Votes - and we only need 270 to win. That means you can use your vote to vote for what you actually want and put President Jill Stein into the White House this election.
National Goal:
5% of the Popular Vote for Public Funding
By earning at least 5% of the national popular vote this November, the Green Party will be eligible for millions of dollars in public funds for the 2028 General Election. This would be an absolute game-changer and a major challenge to the broken two-party system.
State Goals:
Maintain Our Ballot Access
Ballot access is an incredibly large lift for candidates outside the two-party system, because Democrats and Republicans have designed restrictive, anti-democratic ballot access hurdles to protect themselves from competition. We are very proud to have overcome these hurdles to earn ballot access in most states, and the results of this election can also help us in future races. By earning at least a certain percentage in many states — some as low as 0.5%, many in the 1-2% range — we can ensure ballot access for state Green Parties in future elections, making it much easier to run more Green campaigns in the years to come.
Issues Goal:
Win the Debate
Our agenda for people, planet, and peace is extremely popular with voters, but many of these critical issues and solutions are never even discussed by the establishment parties. For decades, Greens have led the way on countless issues, including single-payer healthcare, marriage equality, justice for Palestine, ranked-choice voting, marijuana legalization, reparations, the Green New Deal, canceling student debt, and more. With every voter who hears our message and every vote we get in November, we are gaining traction for the winning ideas in our platform and building demand for the policies we need!
Organization Goal:
Build the Green Party
Polls have shown for years that a large majority of Americans believe we need a new major party because the establishment parties don’t represent the people. Our campaign is building the Green Party as a vehicle to challenge the failed two-party system and achieve the change we want to see in the world. By gaining ballot access across the country, building support for Green values and positions, and recruiting people into the Green movement, we are growing a sustainable political force that can change U.S. politics for good.
While the political establishment has destroyed or co-opted many other political parties and movements, for decades the Green Party has survived to continue fighting, with many wins along the way. Greens have long been an integral part of many people’s movements and have won more than 1,500 elections, making the Green Party the largest and most successful independent party in the U.S. that doesn’t take money from corporate interests. By channeling the energy of this campaign into building the Green Party movement, we are working towards getting more Green candidates into elected office and turning our vision of a better world into a reality.'
