John,

Think back to where you were 10 years ago. What were you doing in December 2009, on the precipice of a new decade?

I was a high school student in Maine then, feeling helpless and abandoned. The Copenhagen Climate Summit, where heads of state gathered to decide on a framework to reduce global carbon emissions, was in disarray. I still remember the pit I felt in my stomach as the world’s leaders betrayed my generation.

So much has changed since I was sixteen -- but I still feel betrayed by the leaders of the political establishment. That’s why our generation is taking over in 2020.

Start a recurring donation to Sunrise Movement right now so we can make tomorrow the start of the Decade of the Green New Deal.

If we hit our goal of 6,000 monthly donors by midnight, a group of donors will give us an additional match of $100,000. We only need 526 more to make it. Can you help us get there?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Chip in $5 a month
Chip in $10 a month
Chip in $25 a month
Chip in $50 a month
Chip in another amount

Imagine: strikes led by high school students rolling across the country on Earth Day. Green New Deal champions elected from the White House down to town boards. The biggest youth mobilization in the history of the planet mandating that our leaders govern with the Green New Deal.

That’s the kind of scale we need to build next year to win. But we won’t reach that scale without your support. Make a monthly donation to Sunrise to power us into the Decade of the Green New Deal.

Or, make a one-time contribution instead.

A decade ago, high schoolers like me didn’t have Sunrise, youth strikers, and the Green New Deal as source of hope.

It took ten years to get from that moment of betrayal to this moment of possibility. We only have another ten left to stop the climate crisis -- and our generation refuses to be let down again. Make a donation today.

With fortitude,

Miles
