🚨UPDATE ON BALLOT ACCESS🚨

Over the last few months, volunteers around the country have been actively petitioning, talking with and collecting signatures from tens of thousands of people ready to see a socialist on the ballot in their state.

As of today, our campaign:

  • 💥 Is officially on the ballot in 9 states
  • 💥 Has submitted the required signatures in 7 states
  • 💥 Is still pursuing ballot access in an additional 7 states
  • 💥 Is pursuing official write-in status in 22 states

Our campaign has a path to over 270 electoral college votes — a majority.

The two-party system makes it incredibly difficult for third party candidates without huge financial resources to access ballots in some states. No matter what status your state is, we encourage supporters to get involved and help build the movement for a future by and for the people beyond the ballot box!

Whether you can donate your money your time, or both — we need your help! Visit 🔗http://votesocialist2024.com/volunteer to learn how you can get involved!

Good for them PSL

Remember, electoralism in capitalist countries is designed to keep commies out, but if you are going to vote, vote commie on principal.

But more importantly unionise and organise.

On a local level, elections can be much easier to make an impact on material conditions. Also good practice for organizing and meeting your community
