Sunrise NYC is a community of young people fighting for a livable future
We’re young New Yorkers from all walks of life advocating for a Green New Deal and the elected officials who champion these values.
By organizing locally in our globally influential city, we’re making NYC a leader in the national fight against climate change.
WHAT WE DO
Protests & Demonstrations
We take to the streets to demand action on the climate crisis. Through rallies, sit-ins, marches, and creative direct actions, we keep pressure on politicians and corporations, making it impossible for them to ignore our demands. We also use storytelling and media—from viral videos to bold visuals—to amplify our message and inspire others to take action.
Advocacy & Political Action
We fight for climate justice at every level of government by pushing for policies that protect people and the planet. Our members work on endorsing candidates, researching and drafting climate legislation, and holding elected officials accountable. We also build digital tools like legislative trackers and online campaigns to help people stay engaged in the political process.
Community Organizing
We grow our movement by bringing in new members, running trainings, and building the skills needed to win. Whether it’s planning local actions, hosting educational events, or mobilizing people for major campaigns, our strength comes from collective power. We use online platforms and social media to reach more people and ensure our movement is accessible to all.
