In Vermont, it is safe to vote for a third-party candidate in the general election, without fear that this will help get Trump back into the White House. He will not win this state no matter how you vote.
If you want your vote to count as a vote to survive, vote for Jill Stein on November 5th! Jill 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.

Bernie Sanders is up for re-election this year. A vote for Bernie Sanders is a vote to survive!
House Races
The best we can hope for in 2024 at the Presidential and Senate levels is to prevent Donald Trump and Republicans from re-taking control so that we will at least survive the next four years. But in the medium term, we need to elect politicians who support the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, the Nuclear Ban Treaty and other real, sustainable solutions to the global threats facing us all.
Luckily, we already have over 100 such politicians in the House of Representatives. We need to make sure they get re-elected, and we need to elect more of them!
In Vermont, you have an incumbent Democrat who is already a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus to support for re-election!
District 1 – Peter Welch
