EVERGREENS

By Lea Celik Sommerseth Shaw

I stand for the Evergreen Transnational Green Party (TGP) as both a declaration and a promise — a promise that we, united across borders, languages, and cultures, will never turn away from our shared responsibility to protect the dignity of all peoples, safeguard the living Earth, and shape a just and sustainable future for generations to come.

I have witnessed firsthand how the greatest threats of our time — climate collapse, inequality, forced displacement, and the ruthless degradation of our ecosystems — cannot be solved within the walls of any one nation. They demand internationalism. They demand grassroots power. They demand courage that is not afraid to confront profit-driven destruction.

That is why we have laid down this constitution — a living guide for our global movement, built not for narrow politics, but for planetary justice.

Presentation

Evergreens is Transnational Green Party. We are not a single party locked in one nation’s struggle. We are a global, decentralized, and democratic movement rooted in Green values and planetary responsibility. Our politics live in the forests of Siberia, in the rivers of the Amazon, in the villages of Africa, in the mountains of Tibet, in the oceans that belong to all of us.

Our Core Values

I believe — and we believe — in:

• Internationalism – Solidarity beyond borders. We see the Earth as one home, not a chessboard of nations.

• Human Dignity and Social Justice – Every person deserves a life free from hunger, fear, and oppression.

• Ecological Integrity – We are defenders of the living systems that give us breath, water, and life.

• Sustainable Development – Economies must heal, not harm. The measure of success is well-being, not profit.

• Participatory Democracy – Those affected by decisions must have the power to make them.

• Nonviolence – We reject war, militarism, and all forms of systemic violence.

• Cultural Respect and Diversity – Our differences are not barriers; they are strength.

The Objectives

Through the Evergreen movement, I am working to:

• Coordinate global Green action to face the climate crisis head-on.

• Champion policies that put the Earth’s recovery and climate justice first.

• Stand with communities fighting for food sovereignty, clean energy, education, and health.

• Build bridges between Green parties, civil society, Indigenous peoples, youth, and progressive internationalists.

• Challenge economic models that exploit and replace them with systems that regenerate.

The Structure

The Global Assembly is our highest voice — every member equal, every voice counted.
The Coordinating Council ensures we stay connected across regions, rotating leadership, and keeping gender balance.
Working Groups tackle the heart of our challenges — from climate to labor rights to digital freedom.
Our Ethics and Accountability Committee ensures transparency, integrity, and adherence to our constitution.

Party Presentation

We aim for consensus — because true unity is built, not imposed.
When consensus is not possible, we decide with a two-thirds majority.
Every decision must be transparent and accessible to our members worldwide.

Funding Mission

The movement is fueled by:

• Member contributions

• Grants from aligned institutions

• Ethical donations and grassroots fundraising

No money from destruction. No partnerships with those who profit from war, pollution, or human rights abuses.

Affiliations

Evergreen works alongside:

• Green parties around the world

• Indigenous and environmental networks

• Peace and justice coalitions

And we reject any alliance that undermines life, peace, and human dignity.

Amendments & Continuity

Change comes through democratic consent — proposals from members, approved by the Global Assembly.
We cannot dissolve without the voice of three-quarters of our members and direct consultation with every region.

Statement to the World

I dedicate this constitution to every person fighting for life, land, liberty, and ecological survival.
Our struggle is planetary. Our duty is urgent.
Our hope is unshakable — because it is rooted in the solidarity of peoples who refuse to surrender the Earth to greed.

Evergreens, Transnational Green Party is here for the long fight.
