CALL FOR
THE GREEN NEW DEAL
Right now, Democrats are working on a massive infrastructure bill that could usher in the Decade of the Green New Deal. But, at the same time, we know Exxon and their friends are swarming Democratic offices to do everything they can to weaken action to stop the climate crisis. They might have the money, but we have a movement.
We need you to call your Representatives & Senators to make sure they listen to us, not Exxon. Call on them to pass an infrastructure bill that meets the scale of the climate crisis, creates millions of good, union jobs, and directs money to communities most impacted by the climate and economic crises.

Hosted By
The Sunrise Movement is a youth movement to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process. We’re building an army of young people to make climate change an urgent priority across America, end the corrupting influence of fossil fuel executives on our politics, and elect leaders who stand up for the health and wellbeing of all people.
Our 400+ decentralized hubs are located across the country and do the most important work of the movement: growing participation, elevating the urgency of climate change and challenging to win political power.
