Distributed Organizer Movement Onboarding at Sunrise Movement

Sunrise Movement is dedicated to stopping climate change and creating millions of good jobs in the process, by 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.  In November 2018, following our 6-month 75-person electoral organizing fellowship, Sunrise Semester, we launched the campaign for a Green New Deal alongside Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In 2019 and 2020, Sunrise has continued fighting for a Green New Deal and elevating the urgency of climate change in the public and the media. We also launched our Green New Deal champions by endorsing candidates across the nation fighting for livable future. We are shaping the narrative around climate change while also standing in solidarity with other movements.

Sunrise Movement Education Fund (501c3) and Sunrise (501c4) are organizations dedicated to supporting the mobilization and leadership of Sunrise Movement.
