Help elect Hazel Chu to Dáil Éireann

Dear Friends,

It is a privilege to be selected to run in the next General Election for the Green Party.

In the past five years it has been an honour to serve you as your Councillor on Dublin City Council, as the 352nd Lord Mayor of Dublin, as the founding Chair of Dublin City Council’s Homeless Committee and as a member of the City Recovery Taskforce, the National Night Time Economy Task Force and the National Anti-Racism Advisory Committee.

As a TD I will continue to do all I can to fight climate change. There is no greater emergency than the climate crisis and we need as many green voices in the Oireachtas. I will build for greater community cohesion to counter the rise of ethno-nationalism. I will fight for more and better housing and to improve supports for people from disadvantaged backgrounds. I will ensure that we continue to have a progressive Green voice in Dáil Éireann.

However, running for election costs money. Any funds raised will be spent on such things as leaflets, letters, advertisement, posters, postage and other ways to reach out to my voters to encourage them to vote.

An example of costings and how your contribution could help:

•⁠ €20 buys space on Instagram to promote my campaign

•⁠ €50 buys 4 election posters

•⁠ ⁠€100 prints leaflets for 2,000 homes

•⁠ ⁠€250 prints canvas cards for 4,000 homes

•⁠ ⁠€500 buys one bus shelter advertisement

•⁠ ⁠€800 prints a newsletter for half my constituency

Important laws around political donations:

-I can only accept donations from Irish residents or Irish citizens living abroad.

-I cannot accept more than €1,000 from the same person in a calendar year.

-I cannot accept an anonymous donation of more than €100.

-GoFundMe donations aren't anonymous, I can see all the names but I will be in touch for your address for donations over €100.

-By donating, you confirm that you are an Irish resident or an Irish citizen living abroad and that you have not exceeded the maximum permissible donation of €2,500 to the Green Party this year.

-If I'm unsure, I will have to get in touch with you or return the donation.

A big thank you for all your support.

Take care,

Hazel
