Hey John,
This year has made it crystal clear. Big Oil runs the government. Trump put a fracking CEO as his Energy Secretary and his EPA administrator has called climate change “a religion”.
The silver lining is that they’ve pulled off the mask. This is an opportunity to expose to millions of people what we’ve been up against for years.
This year, Sunrisers in hubs around the United States have worked tirelessly to expose fossil fuel corruption and stand up to the authoritarianism they bankroll.
In Los Angeles, young people protested Phillips 66 in the wake of the terrible fires that rage across the city.
Sunrisers have passed local government resolutions to demand that polluters pay for the damage they cause, and organized dozens of actions and lobby visits around the country.
Hubs and members have led trainings and organized canvasses that educate and grow our movement.
And of course, we've stood up to attacks on the institutions young people count on, like the Department of Education.
But as proud as we are of all of that: we’re just getting started.
We’re organizing our members to fight back against oil-soaked authoritarianism and take back our democracy.
