Dear John,
Across the country, millions of students are home from school to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and keep everyone safe. While there are resources emerging to continue education, there is nothing to replace the community and personal development other school programs were providing. And there aren’t many options for restless students who want to do something about all this.
So, this Tuesday, we’re launching Sunrise School: an online training program designed to develop thousands of young leaders and introduce them to the fight for a Green New Deal. As we transition many facets of our organizing to digital platforms, we realize the massive amount of people power required to keep our movement strong during the crisis and ready for action once it passes. With so many students stuck at home, wondering what’s going on and if they can help, it’s the perfect opportunity to get involved.
Sign up now to join our first training: a 4-day Green New Deal & Coronavirus crash course. Don’t forget to invite friends who are also out of school and passionate about making this country better for everyone.
In the Green New Deal & Coronavirus crash course, you’ll learn exactly what the Green New Deal is and where it came from, how it fits into the coronavirus crisis, and how we can work together to win it, including actions you can take even while stuck inside!
In the next few weeks, Sunrise School will be launching a full slate of trainings, including Movement Building 101, Shifting Your Organizing During Corona, and a series of skill workshops on everything from leading good online meetings, to video editing, and more. In all the trainings, you’ll get the chance to:
Build connections with other young people who are freaked out about climate change, the coronavirus, and the state of our world.
Learn about the crises gripping our society and how to confront them.
Take action with small groups of others in your area while social distancing.
Now is the time to build the skills we need so as soon as we’re able to take the streets again, we’ll be ready for massive organized action. Join us. Sign up here for the 4-day Green New Deal & Coronavirus crash course starting this Tuesday -- and bring a few friends along.
Or, fill out this interest form to be the first to get sign-up links and updates for other Sunrise School trainings, coming soon.
Let’s make the best of this moment,
Naomi Hollard, Sunrise School Coordinator
P.S. - Can you contribute to help with the cost to establish, develop, and expand these programs to help level up young leaders across the nation?
