Hi—

I wanted to make sure you saw Sienna's message. She recently collaborated with Evergreen to create one of four limited edition posters that illustrates our shared vision of a brighter future, which we're gifting to anyone who starts a recurring gift of $15 or more this month.

It's going to take all of us to make sure our new climate roadmap gets in front of as many decision-makers as possible, and supporting us with a monthly donation that we can plan ahead with is where you can have the most impact.

Read Sienna's story below, and make sure you can secure one, two, or all four posters (before they’re all gone soon!) by starting a monthly contribution today.

Subject: What a clean energy future means to me

Hi friend,

My name is Sienna Gonzales. I'm a queer Mexican and Chitimachan artist based in Los Angeles.

I want to tell you a story.

When Evergreen asked me to design this poster to illustrate one of four pillars of their core vision—one that centers a thriving, just, inclusive clean energy future—I started brainstorming my own vision of what that means to me.

As an artist, a clear vision is foundational to my creative process.

I often begin with curating a mood board, gathering images that resonate with the colors, atmosphere, and composition of the piece I envision, which helps me set the tone of the work.

Following this, I engage in a brief creative writing exercise to describe the image I aim to create, which solidifies the emotional impact I want the viewer to experience.

Only after I establish this vision do I begin sketching—starting with broad, loose shapes to establish the composition. Gradually, I refine these sketches, bringing the piece into more and more focus.

When I heard about the Evergreen Action Plan 2.0, it felt like this monumental effort was also grounded in a clear vision, brought to life by thoughtful steps and refinements along the way.

And I was moved by the plan's commitment to helping our leaders build, piece-by-piece, the better, brighter future we all want and deserve.

If you resonate with this vision like I do, I hope you'll start a monthly donation of just $15 to support Evergreen's work. If you do, you'll get a free gift from Evergreen in return—one of four posters (including my own!) that illustrate a future that’s clean, thriving, just, and inclusive.

As someone who believes that optimism is a powerful force—one that not only captures attention but also inspires action—designing this poster was an incredibly meaningful experience for me. A clean energy future embodies a collective commitment to the well-being of both people and the planet, and it's an honor to think that my work might play a role in bringing us closer to that shared goal.

For a brighter future,

Sienna Gonzales

P.S. The other works in the poster series are stunning. If you start a recurring gift of $40 or more each month, you’ll automatically get all four as a gift!
