Buck the System! The People vs Billionaires.

Hi

 The time to meet the moment is NOW.

We are in the final hours before the June 2nd Primary closes.

Crude oil is spilling into our rivers in Los Angeles. Toxic violence is terrorizing our communities in San Diego and across the state. An AI data center is draining Imperial County dry. A 2,560-bed ICE prison just quietly opened in California City. California is on fire and its leaders are profiting off the chaos.

California voters are being handed a false choice whittled down to two candidates bankrolled by the billionaire class, vying for control of our state. We've got one guy who made more than a billion dollars from the expansion of mass incarceration, and a career politician served by a buffet of corporate interests.

My name is Dr. Butch Ware—a historian, community organizer, and father— running a grassroots campaign for the Green Party that is currently polling within single-digit points of all the billionaire-funded candidates in the CA gubernatorial race, higher than any Green Party candidate has ever polled. This presents a real threat to two-party establishment politics. We are doing this without taking any corporate PAC money, and with a platform dedicated to building a California that serves the needs of all working people, not corporations.

Across the state of California, real everyday people are donating their time, their resources, and their money to our campaign. Thousands of Butch Ware for Governor and Green Party volunteers have:

• curated hundreds community events

• made thousands of calls

• canvassed thousands of voters

• fed people, and supported local organizations

• made their voice heard despite a legacy media blackout-out

• shared thousands of social media posts of your write-in ballots

• helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations

We are a 100% grassroots, people-powered campaign that raised more donations than all of the billionaire-backed candidates for CA governor.
No corporate money, no PAC money, just the people showing up again and again.

They spent $200 million on this race. We're answering with something they can't buy: the power of the people.

The establishment removed us from the ballot to push us out of the race. We are still here, writing ourselves back in, because we will not give up on our future. You need to know you actually do have a choice. This is how corruption is confronted.

You don't have to live in California to make an impact.

"Never let your enemy tell you how many of you there are."
—Malcolm X

Now is the time to show them how many of us there are.
Anyone can join our $1 drive, as a Fundraiser.

It's time to Buck the System.

It only takes a minute.

It’s that simple.

,

You've already helped prove that millions of Americans are ready for politics rooted in justice, not corporate money. That energy didn't end in 2024 — it's only grown.

Now I'm running for Governor of California, the fourth-largest economy in the world and a state with the power to lead the nation. This is where our movement becomes governance.

I'm reaching out personally to the people who helped build this, because what comes next depends on us. No corporate PACs. No billionaire donors. Just our community, stepping up again.

Your $1 donation at this critical time will help us:

• Launch a people-powered campaign across all of California

• Build the grassroots infrastructure to win statewide

• Prove that principled leadership can govern — not just run

California is where we prove it's possible.

With gratitude and determination,
