Help spread the word!
The biggest thing getting in the way of this campaign is quite truly the problem that people don’t realize they have a third option. This is exactly why the NJDems did what they did when they went after Lily and pulled from the MAGA playbook to disenfranchise voters: they realized if people discovered they didn’t have to settle for the lesser of two evils, if people knew there was someone in the race who had a long track record of fighting for the people, not corporate elite, then Sherrill would stand no chance.
That’s why Lily Benavides isn’t on the ballot. Which means we really just need as many people as possible getting the word out there, letting people know they don’t have to settle, telling people there IS someone in this race they can believe in, and the best way to do that is YOU!
We need you spreading the word! Share on your socials, reaching out to every Jerseyan you know, even hit up your favorite podcaster to share the story!

There are so many ways you can help get the word out there in time for this election! Social media is really really important and we really need people driving people to the site and socials, but more ways to help:
We desperately need volunteers, especially people willing to do some good ol’ fashion door knocking
Writing letters to the editors to get the message out there about this. Too many news organizations have been afraid to cover this or haven’t realized just how significant it is, which is a true travesty as this shows we are truly in a fight against the most corrosive forms of corruption, of assault on our democracy right here in New Jersey in this very election and it’s coming from the Party that’s supposed to be leading the charge against tyranny. If we allow this corruption to skirt through unchecked, we are merely ensuring a different kind of faux democracy down the line.
The media isn’t recognizing this for the danger they should. By writing a letter to the editor, you may shed a light on this crucial topic that greedy parties on both sides are trying to keep under wraps.
You may also help people realize there’s more support for this than they were led to believe.You can put up signs in your window, on your door, in your windshield (look below for free downloadables!)
Strike up convos with people as much as you can between now and November 4th (people are not talking about this election much - it’s reasons like that why this stands a chance: there is so little enthusiasm for this election and the two major parties’ candidates that we’re going to see abysmally little turnout and if people realize there’s a third option that actually stands a fighting chance, they’ll reconsider their vote for those candidates, too! It really is just a matter of getting the word out there! Call into your favorite radio show or talk loudly in a cafe!)
Hang up flyers around your neighborhood or around places you know will see a lot of passionate people turning out like in an area you know will have a demonstration or protest. These are the exact kinds of people who will want to hear what Lily has to say! Scroll down on this page to the downloadables so you can print some of the flyers and then start putting them up!
