Our Fight For A Green New Deal

We are opposing ICE’s occupation of our cities because it is self-defense for democracy, and against the same enemies who are driving us headlong into the climate crisis. There is no path to meaningful climate action in a world where a fossil-fuel bought president like Trump has access to his own personal gestapo.

Throughout history and around the globe, students and workers have always led the way to topple authoritarianism , using mass non-cooperation to topple dictators. We’re teaming up with workers and unions to organize against the authoritarian overreach of the Trump administration, and training the muscle of mass cooperation towards larger and larger sustained action.

Sunrise has helped elect hundreds of Green New Deal champions at all levels of government, gotten thousands of politicians to sign the no fossil fuel money pledge, and mobilized our generation to make climate a top issue in our elections.

It’s time for a Green New Deal for our communities. Door by door, neighborhood by neighborhood, we will take over our cities and towns to put everyday people in charge and win the homes we deserve.
