Hey John, just following up to make sure you saw Bre’s email about our demonstration in Washington, D.C. next Monday. Here’s the link to sign up: https://action.sunrisemovement.org/a/june-28-dc-signup
Already, hundreds of people from all across the country have registered to join us at the White House next week. Here’s how our team is prepping for the event:
- We’re helping with travel and housing costs to make sure this event isn’t just accessible to people with cash to burn.
- A crew of people have chartered a bus from Boston to D.C. to pack with dozens of Sunrisers. Others are doing the same from Chicago, making the whopping 11-hour (!!) journey.
- Volunteers are coming out of the woodwork to help with unglamorous but essential tasks like making calls, answering emails and texts, finding supporter housing, and so much more.
- My friend is opening up his house near D.C. to sleep dozens of Sunrisers who need a place to stay.
We’re working around the clock to make sure as many Sunrisers as possible can make it to D.C. to send Biden a message. Now, we need you to take the next step by signing up. Can we count on you to be there?
Thanks,
Audrey, Sunrise

Monday. The White House. Are you in? >>
John,
Hey, I’m Bre. Growing up in a mining town, I saw people close to me lose their jobs to automation. My mum never let me play outside on the balcony of our flat, because no matter how often we cleaned it, it was always covered with a thick layer of coal dust.
The fight for good jobs and a livable future is close to home for me. So when I got the call last week asking if I’d lead recruitment for our next big action that’ll bring hundreds of people to the White House to hold Biden accountable and push for a Civilian Climate Corps, I said yes.
Will you meet us in Washington, D.C. one week from today, John? Hundreds of Sunrisers are marching to the White House, and we need a big turnout. Sign up now and we’ll follow up with information about travel, housing, and more.
Right now, we have a narrow window of political opportunity to pass the first part of the Green New Deal. So next week, we need to show up by the hundreds to show Democrats and Biden that we won't let them negotiate our futures away to the GOP.
It’s time for Biden and Democrats to step up and use this moment to pass legislation that will materially impact communities like the one I come from.
Click here to RSVP for next week’s action at the White House to help us ramp up pressure on Biden and pass a Civilian Climate Corps.
See you there,
Bre, Sunrise
P.S. If you’re coming from outside the D.C. area, we may be able to help cover travel expenses. Sign up now so we can make sure you have everything you need and are ready to throw down at the White House on Monday.
