Hey there John, it's Aru.

2025 has shown us what Trump’s fascist ambitions look like: neighbors disappeared off the street, the cost of living skyrocketing, and climate collapse. But 2025 has also shown something hopeful: when movements have the resources to fight back, Trump folds. 

This year, Sunrise organized our schools to finally stand up to Trump and reject his “loyalty oath” — and we won. We organized to keep the National Guard out of our cities, helped elect Zohran Mamdani, and mobilized our neighbors against ICE. 

Working people across the country (even in deep red Tennessee) are fed up with Trump’s cruel, billionaire-friendly agenda, but that energy goes nowhere without movements to harness it. We provide the training, materials, and organizing infrastructure that are essential to fighting fascism — and none of that can happen without your support.

We’ve set a goal to gain 250 monthly sustainers by the end of the year. Today, Giving Tuesday, is when your commitment is the most critical.

Can you help us get closer to our goal today by committing $10 per month? Become a Sunrise supporter and send a strong message: you have the backs of the young people who are on the front lines of the fight against fascism.

PLEDGE $10/MONTH 

This Giving Tuesday, the stakes could not be higher. Our pathway to defeating Trump hinges on 2026, when we will:

• Organize thousands of young people to resist ICE, like we just did at Alligator Alcatraz
• Lead escalating student strikes against fascism
• Force Trump-friendly corporate Democrats out of office with our most ambitious primary program ever

We need regular supporters to plan these programs, because small monthly donations give us the stability to plan for the future.

Every dollar you give now goes directly towards organizing a powerful youth movement to stop authoritarianism and win a Green New Deal.

Help win the future we deserve. Become a monthly supporter today.

In solidarity,

Aru Shiney-Ajay
