— Delegate Update —

With 15 states reporting, McKinney now has 157 delegates out
of the 361 that have been awarded for the Green Party National
Convention in Chicago, July 12. The campaign for the nomination
is far from complete and we’re urging supporters particularly
in those states where Convention delegates have not yet been
instructed to use our volunteer form and let us know how you’d
like to help build this campaign.

Our Sunday Evening 10k Club continues! The goal is for

Sunday, raising $1,000 in campaign contributions from each
location.

Hosting a house party is easy; it requires no prior experience
and the campaign will work closely with hosts. If you are
