MATCHING FUNDS’ JOURNEY— Jill Stein Campaign for U.S.
Presidency
Deadline June 30 to qualify for federal matching funds
Application must be submitted by June 30 to ensure
processing before the Green National Convention on July 13, 2012
Must raise at least $5,000 in each of 20 states; the first
$250 donated by any individual counts toward that $5,000 goal, and will be
doubled once qualification is achieved
Every donation made to Jill Stein for President (up to $250)
can be matched dollar-for-dollar by public financing— IF (and only if) — 20
states to qualify by June 30th.
Needed: Ten more than the current 10 states
The voice of peace, democracy, economic justice, and
sustainability must be heard! Silence is not an effective political strategy. Raising your voice is effective.
