Sunrise Movement
Sunrise is a movement of young people uniting to stop the climate crisis. We call ourselves Sunrise because we know this dark hour in America, when fossil fuel executives and climate deniers run our government, cannot last. We have a 4-year plan to build a movement strong enough to make climate action an urgent priority in every corner of the country, expose the fossil fuel executives who have purchased politicians and blocked progress, and elect a people's government to pass an agenda for our health, home, and future.www.sunrisemovement.org

Three Years After October 7: Meghan & Miranda With Jamie Kirchick and Eve Barlow
J
60:47Jamie KirchickGUEST
I think there's a lot of, you know, American activists, left-wingers who believe this and believe it should be inserted into every issue.
J
60:55Jamie KirchickGUEST
But what you see in a lot of these situations, these stories is, you know, there'll, there'll be, um, an organization that stands for the environment, right? Like the Sunrise Movement, which was like an environmental group.
J
61:08Jamie KirchickGUEST
And all it takes really is a small core, and there's a term for this actually, it's called entryism, and it's basically what the DSA is trying to do in the Democratic Party.
J
61:19Jamie KirchickGUEST
It's when a small core of, like, committed ideological leftists will enter a left-wing organization, say the Democratic Party or an environmental organization, and then they will use sort of underhanded tactics to take over that organization.
From Being Right to Being Powerful: Reaching Beyond a Politics of Powerlessness, with Yotam Marom
Y
6:14Yotam MaromGUEST
Um, okay, so yeah, as a facilitator, so, you know, I work as a, basically as a group facilitator for a lot of movement organizations, and it's a combination of supporting them, you know, to work through their strategy and, and to work through their group dynamics, figuring that those two things are often related, and we have to build strong, healthy groups to be able to execute a good strategy.
Y
6:32Yotam MaromGUEST
Um, and the kinds of groups I work with are, you know, organizations like the Sunrise Movement that brought us the Green New Deal, uh, [laughs] uh, you know, If Not Now and Uncommitted, uh, you know, we would like to work with, um, [laughs] work at Stop the Jail.

Um, and-
C
71:49Chenjerai KumanyikaHOST
Can you think of any off the top?
Y
71:50Yotam MaromGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I think like, uh, some successful organizations like, uh, the Sunrise Movement, for example.
Y
71:57Yotam MaromGUEST
Like this is an organization that like understood the role of the staff as being able to build something that was distributed so that lots and lots of everyday people could be part of the movement, and then as a result, they were able to scale and like win some things, you know? Uh, you know, the, lots of examples like that, I think.

From March 2019, and that's the thing.
C
11:05Comfortably SmugHOST
So first off, if you don't know, folks, Sunrise Movement is one of the most insidious left-wing dark money groups out there.
C
11:11Comfortably SmugHOST
If there's any Looney Tunes batshit policy that can harm America and, like, hobble American energy, hobble American businesses, Sunrise Movement is always there at the front of it.
C
11:22Comfortably SmugHOST
And for Detroit DSA to be like, "Hey, guys, we're having the big communist move- uh, like, uh, get together.

Please join me in November when my guest will be Lorraine Manos, a young American activist who was also a guest at the Democracy on the Brink meeting at the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo.
S
44:03Shalini RanderiaHOST
Lorraine began her career as a climate justice activist in the Sunrise Movement, then was political director of If Not Now, a movement opposing Israeli occupation of Gaza and West Banks, and is currently working with the Democracy Revival Center in Washington, D.C. We'll of course discuss in November the results of the U.S. midterm elections, which many of us around the world are watching with bated breath.
S
44:33Shalini RanderiaHOST
But our conversation will focus largely on Lorraine's work of mobilization to bring about some fundamental changes in the American political and electoral system to make it truly democratic.

265 - The Carbon Wave (feat. Leah Stokes)
L
21:36Leah StokesGUEST
So that could be like electrifying your school or, you know, that your kid goes to, or it could be like getting your city government to get electric vehicles for their car fleet.
L
21:46Leah StokesGUEST
And you're only going to be able to do those things with collective action, right? You have to join with others through, you know, like advocacy campaigns, right? Join like Third Act, for example, if you're older, or like the Sunrise Movement if you're younger, or Sierra Club, or start your own group with a bunch of friends.
L
22:03Leah StokesGUEST
And that's what I'm trying to point people towards.
L
22:06Leah StokesGUEST
You know, that's really what the story of the book then ends up being about.
10 MINS LATER
C
32:26Cymene HoweHOST
And the carbon wave is going to be a part of that.
C
32:28Cymene HoweHOST
But give us your hopeful read.
L
32:30Leah StokesGUEST
Yeah, well, one of the reasons why I wrote this book was to try to attract and bring in more people to our movement, right? Because waves are bigger and more powerful when they are filled with more water, with more droplets, more people, right? And I think that was really the story of this time period, beginning in 2018 with the Green New Deal, the sit-in at Nancy Pelosi's office with a bunch of young activists in the Sunrise Movement and newly elected Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
L
32:57Leah StokesGUEST
You know, those people did this huge sit-in and then it catalyzed all this media coverage and activism and reports and ideas.
Leah C. Stokes — The Carbon Wave: A Story of Democracy, Parenthood, and the Race to Protect Our Planet - with Gerry Petrella, Maxine Joselow, & Christy Goldfuss
L
24:40Leah C. StokesGUEST
It takes a lot of people both outside government to get ideas on the agenda.
L
24:45Leah C. StokesGUEST
That's why I tell the story of the Sunrise Movement and the activists and the kids in the street.
L
24:49Leah C. StokesGUEST
It takes people like Christy Goldfuss, who was really critical to rethinking how climate policy would get done and bringing labor in and bringing environmental justice in.
L
24:58Leah C. StokesGUEST
And she hired a lot of key people and built organizations along with others to get us ready to do this in a different way.

Abdul El-Sayed pulled out that that primary victory in the Senate race.
J
33:19Josh BarroHOST
There's a House district with this guy, Will Lawrence, who was one of the founders of the Sunrise Movement, who said a bunch of crazy shit about the nuclear family being, I don't know what it was, fascist or whatever.
J
33:32Josh BarroHOST
But so a lot of establishment Democrats were looking very nervously in August at that Michigan Senate race.
J
33:40Josh BarroHOST
But like, am I right to look at this as that, you know, it's a strong enough Democratic year and Abdul El-Sayed seems to be doing enough to mend fences on the Democratic side that basically he's not going to manage to lose that race?
B
36:52Ben DreyfussHOST
My takeaway was that I was like, this guy is a moron.
B
36:56Ben DreyfussHOST
And then I was looking at it, and I was like, oh, he found it.
B
36:58Ben DreyfussHOST
Sunrise Movement, whoever gives a shit.

The dumbest group in the world.
