Friend,

In the five weeks since we released our paper "A Roadmap to 100% Clean Electricity by 2035" with Data for Progress, two big things have happened:

✅ President Biden called on Congress to pass a 2035 Clean Electricity Standard as part of the American Jobs Plan.

✅ Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm declared that a Clean Electricity Standard can be passed through budget reconciliation, meaning the 50 Democratic senators (with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Harris) could pass a federal CES at any moment.

These didn't happen by accident. They happened because we've been making noise on Capitol Hill about a 2035 CES and eliminating any excuse policymakers could have for not making this policy a reality. Will you donate $10, or whatever you can afford, today so we can keep pushing for it as aggressively as possible?

At Evergreen, we don't just make policy plans. We make plans for our plans—that's how we get them in the press and in front of policymakers at exactly the right moment to make a difference.

"A Roadmap to 100% Clean Electricity by 2035," our paper about the need for Congress to pass a Clean Electricity Standard, showed support for the policy from a strong bipartisan majority of voters and several viable pathways for how legislators can get it done—including a plan for the reconciliation process and how Democrats could bypass Republican obstruction and still get this bill through.

Now, Congress has everything it needs to deliver the clean energy economic recovery the American people voted for—and we're going to make sure they follow through.

Momentum is on our side, and now it's up to Congress to meet this moment. Will you chip in to Evergreen today to keep this crucial policy moving forward on the Hill?

Thanks,
