Zaterdag 12 januari – De ‘Extinction Rebellion van de VS’ heet Sunrise Movement. Ook hier een krachtige positieve boodschap, vreedzame rebellie en de wil en energie van jonge mensen. Met een doel: in 2019 een nieuwe Green Deal formuleren die een volgende president in 2021 tot wet kan maken.
Who we are: Sunrise is a 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. We are ordinary young people who are scared about what the climate crisis means for the people and places we love. We are gathering in classrooms, living rooms, and worship halls across the country. Everyone has a role to play. Public opinion is already with us – if we unite by the millions we can turn this into political power and reclaim our democracy.
We are not looking to the right or left. We look forward. Together, we will change this country and this world, sure as the sun rises each morning.
