Statement Clarifying Sanders Offer For Immediate Release Saturday, July 9, 2016 - 9:45am Jill 2016 Contact: Gloria Mattera \| Campaign Co-Chair [c] 1.917.886.4538 [e] gloria@jill2016.com Additional resources for Media: jill2016.com/press Statement Clarifying Sanders Offer We have repeatedly asked to meet with Senator Sanders to discuss the possibilities for collaboration to continue to build a progressive revolution in the US. We have said we were willing to discuss a variety of cooperative approaches, including the possibility of creating a united ticket. At no point however have we simply offered that we would just step aside and give the Presidential nomination of the Green Party to Senator Sanders without serious discussions of issues and strategies. And of course ultimately the nomination decision rest in the hands of the delegates to the Green Party convention, though most of them are pledged to Jill Stein. However such a ticket was conditioned on discussing and agreeing on a joint program moving forward. We have always been clear that the path to a progressive revolution does not go through the Democratic Party, a position that Sen. Sanders had shared through most of his political career. And while we agree with Senator Sanders on many issues, including both analysis and solutions, there are also some significant differences that would have to be addressed. This starts with foreign policy and the role of the US military, but includes specific domestic issues as well the abolition of student debt and the need to transition to 100% clean renewable energy by 2030. Americans deserve real solutions for the economic, social and environmental crises we face. But the broken political system is only making things worse. It's time to build a people's movement to end unemployment and poverty; avert climate catastrophe; build a sustainable, just economy; and recognize the dignity and human rights of every person. The power to create this new world is not in our hopes; it’s not in our dreams — it's in our hands. Organization Links Jill 2016
