Hi—

Did you see Beth’s note? I know you’re busy so here’s the TL;DR:

Evergreen isn’t waiting for changes in Washington to keep pushing for real climate progress today. We’re working with newly-elected governors, providing data-backed playbooks to lower costs for families AND deploy clean energy at the state level.

But Big Oil and other special interest groups are already on the ground, trying to block these cost-saving measures. Your generous donation helps us build research and policies that we can deliver straight into the hands of governors—who can turn them into laws that make life more affordable for Americans AND take on the climate crisis.

Better yet, a generous donor has pledged a double match—meaning every dollar you give goes twice as far, up to $50,000. $50 becomes $100, $100 becomes $200, and so on.

This is how we build a durable clean energy future that no president can undo: by making clean energy the cornerstone of a thriving, affordable economy in every state around the country. Thank you for your generous donation.

Subject: Let us explain: A winning strategy

Hi Friend,

While the Trump regime continues to dismantle federal climate progress, Evergreen isn’t sitting back and waiting for changes in Washington.

We’re pushing for progress where it’s possible–right now. That’s always been our North Star: Championing the most ambitious policies that are politically possible at this moment.

The real battle for clean energy has shifted to the states—and a generous donor has stepped up with a $50,000 matching challenge, doubling every dollar donated by December 31 to accelerate a proven strategy that’s winning today. Let me explain.

Families across the country are feeling the pinch of rising costs. For too long, they’ve been told that clean energy is expensive. Evergreen is flipping that script. We are proving that the path to lower bills runs directly through state-level clean energy deployment.

This isn’t just rhetoric; it’s a winning strategy.

This year, we rapidly put together key policies for newly elected governors like Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, who both secured decisive victories by campaigning on energy affordability.

As they head into office in 2026, we are handing them the specific, data-backed playbooks to deliver on those promises.

This is the innovative, results-oriented work that separates us from the pack: we aren't just asking for climate action; we are building the exact policies that will make life more affordable for working families.

We need your help to turn these plans into reality in New Jersey, Virginia, and beyond. Fossil fuel interests are already working to block these cost-saving measures, and with the federal government stepping back, the pressure on states to lead has never been higher.

We have the data, but we need resources to build momentum and support for policies we are delivering to leaders. To help us meet this moment, a generous donor has agreed to match every dollar you give, up to $50,000, before December 31.

Please, don’t wait. This is your chance to drive climate progress that produces real financial relief for American families, defying the gridlock in Washington. Donate $25, $50, or whatever you can today to double your impact and help us build an affordable clean energy future.

MAKE A YEAR-END GIFT
