Greenlight America

$77,200 Raised | $11,400 Match Remaining

Greenlight is mobilizing grassroots power to win local clean energy fights where projects are most at risk of being blocked. With our Clean Energy Mobilization Hub, we equip supporters to show up in permitting battles, ensuring solar, wind, and storage get built on time to meet the urgent climate window. Partnering with Protect Our Winters (POW), we’re expanding campaigns in the Mountain West—especially Colorado and Nevada—through joint phonebanking and organizing, advancing projects with more than 600MW potential. Together, we’re making sure clean energy doesn’t lose by forfeit and building durable climate wins in critical geographies.

Evergreen Action

$100,000 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!

Evergreen Action was founded in 2020 with the goal of advancing bold - and actionable - policies to defeat the climate crisis and create millions of jobs in a just, thriving, and inclusive clean energy economy. The foundational Evergreen Action Plan was formed out of Washington Governor Jay Inslee’s 2020 presidential bid and his gold standard climate platform. In three years, Evergreen has made a demonstrative impact, shaping Biden’s first term agenda by helping pass, defend, and implement the Inflation Reduction Act. Join the presentation for a briefing on the Evergreen 2025 Action Plan which articulates what winning climate policy should be for Biden and other candidates. Also learn how Evergreen plans to align and inspire elected officials and advocates to take ownership of a progressive path forward that maximize the likelihood of success for the climate cause come November and beyond.
