Hey John,
We’re heading into the end of the year, and gearing up for a challenging time ahead. The world is watching as crises intensify—climate chaos, social injustices, and the rise of authoritarianism.
But through it all, one thing remains true: we are the ones who can create the change we need.
So we thought we’d create another way for us to remind each other of our ability to create change -- our brand new Sunrise “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for” sticker.
As we enter a challenging/scary/dark time, we can ground ourselves in the people who came before us.
June Jordan popularized this phrase in her poem commemorating the 40,000 women and children who struggled against apartheid in South Africa.
The sticker’s 70s-inspired design—inspired by the drum cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts—ties us to a time of immense social change, like the Vietnam War and Civil Rights Movement, when people came together to fight for justice.
Our fights now—for Palestine, for the climate, and for racial justice—echo those struggles.
We can win these fights—but it’s abundantly clear that we can’t wait for someone to come and save us. We need to be the ones to push the movement forward.
This sticker is a call to action and a symbol of hope, reminding us that we don’t need anyone else to change the world—it’s up to us. So donate whatever you can before midnight and we’ll send you our new “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for” sticker.
Every great movement has faced moments like this, and people have always stepped up. Now, it’s our turn. When you look at your new Sunrise sticker, we hope you’ll remember: We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
But none of this is possible without you. That’s why we’re asking for your help before the year ends.
Every donation you make fuels this movement—every rally, every action, every bit of hope we bring to the fight.
Donate $5 or more before midnight, and we’ll send you this sticker as a thank-you for being part of this fight. Stick it on your laptop, water bottle, or notebook, and carry this message of hope and action with you wherever you go.
The future is ours to build. We’ve faced moments like this before, and every time, people like you have stepped up.
-- Sunrise Movement
