John,

We all knew the 2020 election would be the most important election of our lifetime. And then the pandemic hit.

The stakes now could not be higher. Our leaders will be making decisions about how we come out of this crisis, and these decisions will determine the future for our economy, our health, and our environment.

Both the coronavirus pandemic and climate crisis have shown us what happens when science and experts are ignored and the institutions we rely on to protect us are weakened. We need candidates who are ready to build the healthier future we know we need.

That’s why we launched Evergreen Future. The candidates we elect now will decide our future at the most critical time in our country’s and state’s history. In the face of an uncertain economic future we will need to make tough decisions. Our state must prioritize public health, local workers, and investments and policies that address climate change, clean up toxic pollution, and restore our forests and shared waters.

We need to make our post-coronavirus world better – safer, healthier, more resilient. That is what’s at stake in 2020 and why we have to do things differently.

Watch our Evergreen Future launch video and share it with your friends on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn!

As a part of WCV’s endorsement process, we are asking candidates if they would support the Evergreen Future platform. Over 60 candidates have signed on so far to show their commitment to a better future.

Evergreen Future is about more than just one election or one year. It’s a roadmap for where Washington state needs to go to address our biggest environmental challenges, from climate pollution to protecting clean water. To accomplish this we need candidates in every corner of the state, up and down the ticket, who don’t just rely on what they have done in the past, but have a bold vision for the future.

But none of this happens without you.

We have never had an election under circumstances like this. And we need to change with it: how we invest our time, our resources, and even how we talk to our neighbors.

Share this video on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn to show your support for this campaign and get your friends and neighbors to support an Evergreen Future.

In the coming months and years, we must elect leaders who are willing to take the bold steps needed to address the systemic weaknesses this pandemic made clear. Despite the crisis we are in, together we know we can build a better future than what brought us here.

Thanks for supporting Evergreen Future,

Shannon Murphy
