OUR MISSION

Sunrise is a movement to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process.

 

We're building an army of young people to make climate change an urgent priority across America, end the corrupting influence of fossil fuel executives on our politics, and elect leaders who stand up for the health and wellbeing of all people.

We are ordinary young people who are scared about what the climate crisis means for the people and places we love. We are gathering in classrooms, living rooms, and worship halls across the country. Everyone has a role to play. Public opinion is already with us - if we unite by the millions we can turn this into political power and reclaim our democracy.

We are not looking to the right or left. We look forward. Together, we will change this country and this world, sure as the sun rises each morning.

  • Achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions 

  • Create millions of good, high wage jobs

  • Invest in the infrastructure and industry of the U.S.

  • Secure basic needs like clean air and water, healthy food, and access to nature

  • Promote justice and equity by prioritizing frontline and vulnerable communities

We would love to have you as a part of our team! We have meetings every Wednesday from 6 pm - 7:30 pm. We welcome all guests, so bring a friend and an open mind - we've got a lot of work to do! 

Sunrise changed the politics of climate forever by putting the Green New Deal on the map--but we'll have to organize hard to keep the deal strong in 2019.
