@DwightEvansPA I have asthma and the air quality was pretty bad today. We need you to sign the #GreenNewDeal, and commit to protecting our land, air, and water. Stand and up to fossil fuel executives!
Hey @DwightEvansPA, the time for action on climate is now. Will you support @Ocasio2018, @sunrisemvmt, & @justicedems resolution to form a Select Committee for a #GreenNewDeal? https://t.co/8aKVkuHvNW
Here’s the video of civil rights icon @repjohnlewis voicing support for @Ocasio2018’s House Select Committee for a #GreenNewDeal!
THANK YOU for your support, Rep. It means everything to know politicians like you have our back in the fight to protect our planet.
@RepCarbajal I am 19 y/o in your district, and young people need you to stand by our futures and take action to stop the catastrophic consequences of climate change. These fires are only making it more clear that we need bold action now. Will you support a #GreenNewDeal?
We have 12 years to stop the climate crisis. We demand bold action now, and that means adopting a #GreenNewDeal platform. Join the launch call TONIGHT @ 8pm EST https://t.co/CnSQHUF9of
Next, we should define the standards of that committee. To be truly effective, it should:
1. Have a mandate to draft a Green New Deal plan by 2020;
2. Not have officials appointed to it that accept fossil fuel industry contributions
Absolute chills.
@vict_barrett, 19 — one of the courageous @youthvgov plaintiffs suing the govt for failing to take action on climate — sets the record straight in this powerful & poignant op-ed in solidarity w Sunriser @rose_strauss#NoFossilFuelMoney

.@maddow would you be interested in covering this story?
Wed. night @rose_strauss, 18, asked Scott Wagner (GOP nominee for PA Gov) to give back the $200K he’s taken in fossil fuel $$ and sign the #nofossilfuelmoney pledge. His response? “You’re young and naive”
Now we want to hear from YOU. Take a photo of yourself holding your very own reason for being #YoungAndNaive and tag Sunrise Movement Downingtown in your post to be featured on our page and included in the delivery we'll drop off to Scott Wagner. Here’s a template:
@TeenVogue Thanks @teenvogue! If you’re a young person who’s worried about climate change and pissed that our politicians refuse to take it seriously, follow @sunrisemvmt! Fight for our generation!
If being young and naive means wanting action on climate to protect the health and safety of millions of people around the world, then call me #YoungAndNaive.
