"The Sunrise Movement is a youth movement to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process.

"Network members are working to combat climate and environmental injustice, stop dirty energy projects, divest from fossil fuels, fix democracy, and build the just, clean-energy powered future young people need. We understand that these issues are deeply interlinked, and we believe that we can better tackle them as a coordinated network."

"NextGen America fights for progressive change by growing and wielding the grassroots power of young people in elections. With the efforts of thousands of volunteers to make calls and send texts, we mobilized the youth vote to elect Joe Biden as our president and take back the Senate. But there is still more to do, and we are excited to have you join us.

In 2021, we will train and mobilize our network of NextGen activists to advocate to our members of Congress and other elected officials for progressive change that affects the lives of young voters."

"Funded by supporters like you, we research the challenges confronting our environment and advocate for solutions. Through research reports, news conferences, interviews with reporters, op-ed pieces, letters to the editor and more, we educate the public about what’s at stake and what can be done. Our canvassers and organizers meet people where they are—in public places,door to door or online—raising awareness, recruiting new supporters and activists, and securing funds to support our work.

We make the case for our environment and help people like you make an impact—through petitions, emails, letters, phone calls and more, all delivered to the right people, just when it matters most."
