Alliance for Action

A Chicago-based and student-led organization that educates, engages, and empowers Chicago youth to take climate action in their communities and beyond.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to confront the climate crisis and create millions of middle-class union jobs.

Creating a new Civilian Climate Corps is a key step.

I'll work to include a big, bold CCC in @POTUS' #AmericanJobsPlan and #AmericanFamiliesPlan.

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

We made it clear the first time @POTUS, you’re going to hear our demands, whether we’re inside or outside of the White House. You haven’t responded.

Now we’re back to make sure you understand us clearly: It’s #NoClimateNoDeal and No Compromises, No Excuses.

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

Today we showed up to @JoeBiden’s doorstep with 500+ people and blockaded every entrance to the white house, demanding that he include a fully funded #CivilianClimateCorps in his infrastructure bill.

Secret Service then arrested dozens of us.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

On day one, my administration will rejoin the Paris Agreement and put America back in the business of leading the world on climate change.

[Mondaire Jones @MondaireJones]

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of a Black teenager, Laquan McDonald, while he was Mayor of Chicago.

That he's being considered for a cabinet position is completely outrageous and, honestly, very hurtful.

Whether you're 18 or 80, there are so many options for you to cast your ballot safely (like Maxx did!) today or tomorrow - find out how at https://t.co/11nNNlOv5o!

Mr. President: You attack “socialized medicine” every single day. Well, let's be clear. The excellent care you received at Walter Reed was at a 100% government-funded, government run hospital. For Trump, "socialized medicine" is bad for everyone but himself. Total hypocrisy!

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

Young people have the power to crush Trump, and he knows it. That’s why he’s trying to steal the election, but we’re going to be there to stop him.

Once he’s out, and we’re still in the streets, our movement can set the tone for the next four years, just like movements past.

Another terrible week of 2020 is almost over (full disclosure, I ate Culver's ice cream for breakfast today) but here is a thing I'm v excited happened this week: https://t.co/KFbrdf2ADK

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

Another 1.9 million people, meaning almost 43 million total, have filed for unemployment.

We've watched Congress favor corporations throughout this pandemic and watched our local governments sit in silence as police murder people.

How else did they expect people to respond?

[Amelia Diehl @amelia_diehl]

FINALLY publishing a reflection about my walk to #COP23 back in Oct 2017, when I had the privilege to show up as a delegate with @SustainUS. So grateful for all that I learned from the experience, and I think it's worth revisiting. https://t.co/tBnPwpjcvF
