Evergreen is leading the fight to put bold climate action at the top of America's agenda. We’re building the ambitious, actionable policy roadmap for an all-out mobilization to defeat climate change—and to create millions of jobs in a thriving, just, and inclusive clean energy future.
Evergreen was founded in 2020 by a group of former Inslee for America staffers and supporters who came together with a mission to build an all-out national mobilization to defeat the climate crisis and create millions of jobs in a clean energy economy.
When Gov. Inslee left the presidential race, he made his 218-page “gold standard” policy plan into an open-source document. It lives on today as the Evergreen Action Plan, a comprehensive roadmap for this national mobilization: investing in and building both a thriving clean-energy economy that strengthens communities and a future rooted in justice and economic inclusion.
Today, we combine movement partnerships with direct advocacy to deliver the greatest positive impact, as fast as possible. We mix bold policy products with campaign-style communications and shrewd advocacy tactics. And it’s working.
Since Evergreen was founded, we have successfully influenced the U.S. climate policy landscape. We played a pivotal role in the passage and implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), helped set critical federal standards on pollution, and aided in critical state wins like Michigan’s 2023 100% clean energy standard. Now, under the Trump administration, we are defending that progress at the federal level while helping states achieve bold climate progress that is good for workers and families.
Though the challenges are immense, our work to build a thriving and just clean energy future is just getting started. We hope you’ll join us.
"[Evergreen is] very influential, in terms of figuring out how to take the broader ideas of the progressive climate movement and turn [them] into actual laws that can be passed.”
