Presidential Primary – Feb 27th, 2024

OPEN PRIMARY – You don’t have to be a registered Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary. Just turn up a choose the “Democratic” ballot.

If you want your vote to count as a vote to survive, vote for Marianne Williamson on February 27th! Marianne has suspended her campaign, but she is still on the ballot! She stands for a ceasefire in Gaza, negotiations in Ukraine, an end to warmongering with China, the abolition of nuclear weapons and a full-scale mobilization to address the climate emergency.

This is a primary election solely for the purpose of choosing the Democratic nominee for President. Your vote does not in any way support or enable Trump to get back in! But neither should it be merely a coronation for Joe Biden. He needs to earn our vote. And he needs to get a clear message from the citizens of this country who do not accept the status quo and want to see the changes that Marianne Williamson stands for. Vote to survive!

Senate Race

Michigan Senator Gary Peters is a Democrat who could lose his seat to Republican challenger, John James. This is the number one Senate seat in the country for Democrats to win, because losing this seat would make it almost impossible to re-take control of the Senate and enable a Biden administration to pass legislation opposed by current Republican Senate Leader, Mitch McConnell.

Gary Peters won his seat in 2012 by a significant majority, but the political landscape in Michigan has changed dramatically since then, and John James has strong support from the Black community.

A vote for Gary Peters is a vote for survival!
