We are building an army of young people to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process. This dark time in America must come to an end.

Answers to questions we’re guessing you might have:

What are we demanding? Our demands are simple: all presidential contenders must back the #GreenNewDeal or face the contempt of young people everywhere, and the mainstream media must fully cover climate change or slide further into irrelevance.

When and where will it be? The Democratic Presidential Debate schedule isn’t released yet, but here’s what we know: there will be one debate in June, another in July,and then four more in the rest of 2019. None of the 2019 debates will be in the first four primary states: Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, or Nevada. The action will be at one of these first debates.

How will you decide which one the action will be at? We’ll make the decision mostly based on the location, timing, and opportunities to bring major political figures onboard for the action.

What will the action look like? We can’t share too much now, but this won’t be your average rally outside a debate. We know that the tactics like civil disobedience and powerful stories that we used to put the Green New Deal on the map in DC this past fall are some of our best tools to #ChangeTheDebate again.

Why focus on the debates? The debates are our best shot to grab the attention of the media and the Presidential candidates and ensure the #GreenNewDeal is front and center in the conversation. They are when millions of people tune into the primary for the first time. This year, there will be two debates on back-to-back days so there will be opportunities for actions in between them when the news media are milling around waiting for the next debate.

What can I do now?This action is just one part of our strategy. When you sign up, you'll receive an email with information about how to get started pushing for a Green New Deal where you live.

We call ourselves Sunrise because we know this dark time in America will come to an end. The sun will rise again. We are rising out of darkness to illuminate the truth and expose injustice. We know that when enough people see the light, the fossil fuel billionaires and bought out politicians can no longer hide in the shadows, and eventually — we will win.If we focus our efforts, we could be less than four years away from having a true people’s president and a movement strong enough to pass our agenda. Let’s make it happen.
