Hey there John,

Wow. May Day is this Friday, and in New York City, we’re cooking up something BIG. I'm excited for you to see it.

Without giving away too many details…we’re planning epic actions in the heart of NYC to disrupt business as usual and show the billionaire class that their power only exists because we allow it. And we’re not alone. Across the country, Sunrise hubs like mine are gearing up to send a message loud and clear to the billionaire class: our generation is done playing by their rules. 

We’re in the final push to make May Day as big as possible, and your support will help make it happen. Can you pitch in today to support young people as we stand up to billionaires?

NYC is home to corporate headquarters, billionaire penthouses, and some of the richest people in the world profiting while the rest of us struggle to survive. While they hoard wealth, working people are drowning in bills—from high rent to massive student debt and crushing healthcare costs—all while facing the prospect of billionaire-backed climate apocalypse.

Young people have grown up in a system that values corporate profit over our lives and our futures…but this May Day, we’ve had enough. That’s why we’re planning a wave of actions all across the country to demand workers over billionaires, and it’s why Sunrise is organizing thousands of young people to commit to no work, no school, and no shopping on May 1.

This isn’t a one day strike: this is day one of a mass youth uprising. 

But to pull it off, we need your help right now. Your donation helps us get supplies to organizers on the ground and make these actions impossible to ignore.

Can you chip in $5, $15, or whatever you can today to help us make May Day massive in NYC and across the country?

DONATE NOW 

Together, let’s shake the foundations of the billionaire-backed status quo.

In solidarity,
Lou
