John, it’s official! We launched our new plan!
For those of you who don’t know, when Sunrise launched in 2017 it had a plan – a plan to make the climate crisis a political priority and the Green New Deal a household name. We did that, and MORE — we won *imperfect* climate legislation, elected GND allies in the Squad, and fought back a Red Wave on election day.
But what we’ve also learned through that process is we still have a LOT of work to do if we’re going to build the movement of our dreams and win a Green New Deal. And we have a new plan.
So what’s the plan? Coming off of a really successful five years of raising the urgency on climate and forcing the federal government to deliver bold action, we’re going back to our roots and focusing on building an unstoppable movement to win a Green New Deal.
Our plan is a multi-year strategy to elect even more Green New Deal champions at all levels of government, organize high school students to transform schools, build power in Black, brown, and working class communities, and pass Green New Deal policies in cities and towns across the country.
How are we going to do that?

We’re
taking
over
schools.
We’re
bringing
the
movement
for
the
Green
New
Deal
to
every
student,
classroom
and
school
in
this
country
with
the
Green
New
Deal
for
Schools
campaign.
Together,
we
will
fix
our
buildings
and
buses,
force
our
schools
to
teach
us
the
truth
about
the
climate
crisis,
make
student
lunches
free,
create
pathways
to
green
jobs,
and
ensure
our
schools
have
a
plan
for
when
a
climate
disaster
strikes.
And
with
millions
of
students
on
our
side,
we
will
transform
our
schools
and
win
a
Green
New
Deal.

Organized people power across the country – especially in swing states – is key to shifting national politics and policies. We will create the conditions to shape the 2024 election and force the government to pass even more Green New Deal policies on a national scale come 2025.
We’re at a moment when we can’t resort to the same tactics we’ve used in the past. It’s time for us to get serious about building long-term power and organizing a movement across race and class that can take over every level of government and transform society.
Mark my words, our generation is taking over. If you’re with us, sign up for our next welcome call to commit to organizing in the next era of Sunrise. [[link removed]]
