Friend,

As we enter a New Year, we must take stock of the prior year: a ruthless Trump administration brutalized our communities in countless ways, appealing to the worst instincts of our neighbors. 

We need to take stock of a Biden administration that brought us Trump, proudly supported a genocide, failed to raise the minimum wage or make healthcare a human right, and doubled down on abusing asylum seekers.

We need to take stock of the two corporate parties and ask, “Why can’t California do better? Don’t we deserve better?”

Well, we are here in full force and ready to fulfill the mission for the people of California with our campaign for CA Governor, because we CAN do better and we DO deserve better. We are polling well in the primary race, and we need YOUR help to be on the ballot heading to November.

To kick off the New Year, please join me and special guest Medea Benjamin in Long Beach on January 10th at 1 pm for our “California Freedom Party 2026” Fundraiser!

Let’s celebrate solidarity, community, food and performances by local artists as we discuss using the momentum we built in 2025 to push forward to the primary election and beyond to November ballots in 2026.

Ours is a fully grassroots campaign. YOU and individual donors like you power our fight. The duopoly has billionaires, corporations, polluters, and special interests throwing money at them. We have only conscientious individuals like YOU.

But together, WE can be more than enough. The individual campaign donation limit in California is $39,200, much higher than in the presidential election. A few more maximum donations, and many more working people giving whatever we can, and we can compete and WIN!

If you can’t make it to Long Beach, we still need your financial support, because collective liberation is a necessity and freedom isn’t free.

The polling shows that people are deeply disillusioned with the political establishment and inspired by our campaign. But the clock is running out. With ONLY five months left until the California June primary election, we need your support more than ever before.

So please, give generously if you believe that we need change in Sacramento and across California, because this campaign CAN bring it. 

Peace and Power,

Butch Ware
