John,
We’re just 21 days out from the Iowa Caucuses and 29 days from the New Hampshire primary. What happens in these early votes will set the tone for the whole election. If we seize this moment, we can start this year off with a major win for our movement.
Sunrise endorsed Bernie Sanders last week because he’s shown time and time again that he’s ready to fight for our generation and the Green New Deal. Now, our teams in Iowa and New Hampshire are putting all their energy into turning out young people for Bernie.
We have hundreds of young people who are ready to go to Iowa and NH and put Bernie over the top but we need to raise money to house, train and outfit them with materials.
We need to raise $20,000 more in the next 10 days to pull this off with enough time for people to plan their travel. Can you chip in today?

The next few weeks are our best chance to shape the outcome 2020 election. If we show that a grassroots, youth-led movement can swing Bernie to victory, we'll help him surge into the big states to come, and rally more young people to join us as we fight for a Green New Deal.
Bernie is in a strong position to win -- the latest polls show him in first place in Iowa and in a dead-heat in New Hampshire -- but that means that the billionaire-backed candidates (and the billionaire candidates) are going to be aiming all their firepower at him.
It's up to us to fight back. Chip in now to support Sunrise in Iowa and New Hampshire.
To Des Moines, Manchester, and beyond,
Ahmed Gaya, National Field Director
