Sunrise DC

DC hub of @SunriseMvmt fighting for a just and equitable future | organizing for abolition, mutual aid, and a Green New Deal for Housing 🌇🌱

[Sunrise DC @SunriseMvmtDC]

A Green New Deal starts in our cities and that starts in DC today. @CMLewisGeorgeW4

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

🚨 BREAKING: Young people are at Senator Schumer’s office to demand he stop the disastrous Trump-Musk budget.

The doors are locked. @SenSchumer will you show your face and talk to the people? Or will you cowardly sell us out?

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

🚨 BREAKING: Young people are sitting in at Senator Schumer’s office to demand he stop the GOP’s corrupt budget.

This bill guts essential services while giving extremist billionaires unchecked power over our government. If Schumer won’t fight back, he’s complicit.

No deals. No cowardice. No sellouts.

[ACLU-DC Staff United @ACLUDCunion]

1 week before Thanksgiving, 1 week after *this union action*, and 1 year into bargaining our 1st contract, @ACLU_DC mgmt unlawfully laid off these two union members-nearly 15% of our bargaining unit.

We’re fighting back and need your help:

From the bottom of my heart, thank you Ward 4.

Our movement has always been about uplifting one another and bringing people together.

We face an uncertain future today, but one thing for certain is I'll be fighting for Ward 4 and this city with all of me.

[Harriet’s Dreams @HarrietsDreams]

🚨 TODAY @councilofdc will vote on @CMBrookePinto "emergency" bill targeting protests in residential areas, Here’s why we say NO:
1️⃣ Unnecessary: DC already has noise laws.
2️⃣ Silences Voices: Infringe on our 1st Amendment
3️⃣ Selective Safety
📞 Call and tell them to VOTE NO🙅����‍♀️

[NIH Fellows United-UAW @nihfellowsunite]

When we fight together, we win together. NIH, it’s time to listen to your fellows. #FairContractNow #UnionPower

[Evan Donovan @EvanDonovan]

NEW: I was able to get some great ground video in Chimney Rock, NC this afternoon — a gorgeous mountain tourist town near Lake Lure that was all but washed away by Hurricane #Helene

This will be a sad thread for everyone who loves WNC

[Ed Lazere @edlazere]

Evictions in DC are close to a 10-yr high, yet @councilofdc votes today on a bill to restrict access to emergency rental assistance, saying too many people are avoiding eviction. Any reforms should protect people with legit claims for help.

Let’s be honest.

If @KamalaHarris were serious about winning she wouldn’t be endorsing fracking as Chimney Rock drowns— she’d be endorsing an arms embargo and promising to prosecute Fossil Fuel Executives. #KamalaClimateDenier.

[Raquel Willis @Raquel__Willis]

Local organizers led by @HarrietsDreams and the family of 26-year-old Justin Robinson are shutting down a Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) happy hour.

Robinson, 26, was killed by DC Police after being fired at 10 times on Sept. 1. #JusticeforJustin #BlackLivesMatter

I wish I was executed after birth

[HDizz @hdizz___]

New data shows a 171% increase in mobility devices stolen from disabled homeless people following SF Mayor London Breed's pledge to crack down on homeless encampments

[Action Corps @theactioncorps]

BREAKING — @SenSanders has committed to introduce a Joint Resolution of Disapproval to block new $20B weapons sale to Israel. Activists secured this commitment at the senior center in Brattleboro, VT on Thursday. @NSC_Spox

[rasha abdulhadi @rashaabdulhadi]

This is how far-right fascists came into power in the 20s & 30s, even though they were small minority parties.

Liberal, centrist governments didn't want to share power with the left. So they elevated fascists thinking it was "strategic" & they could control them.

[350BK @350brooklyn]

More than 600 arrests so far for nonviolent civil disobedience in #SummerofHeat's actions against @Citibank - the biggest funder of fossil fuel expansion on the planet.  Listen to this elder.

There's a new standard for the working conditions at D.C. restaurants, thanks to Bazaar workers and their first union contract 👇🏾
