The youth-led climate organization the Sunrise Movement is enlarging its scope in response to the Trump administration, the group announced Thursday.
The Sunrise Movement, which launched during the first Trump administration and harnessed young people’s concerns about climate change, is looking to build a broad coalition that puts fighting the Trump administration before any single issue.
“Every movement organization needs to ask ourselves … how are we undermining authoritarianism and building a movement that can engage in mass noncooperation to grind Trump’s regime to a halt?” said Denae Ávila-Dickson with the Sunrise Movement.
If “movements stay siloed in single issues, we’ll lose. Full stop,” Sunrise’s Executive Director Aru Shiney-Ajay told supporters Thursday in a memo describing the group’s next steps.
