Founding activists Will Lawrence, Dyanna Jaye, and Sara Blazevic are all current trainers with [[Momentum Community]], which is a training workshop funded by millionaires and billionaires to “incubate” supposed "[[grassroots]]" organizations such as Sunrise and the Movimiento Cosecha (Harvest Movement), a group dedicated to defending [[illegal immigrant]] claims to U.S. citizenship.

[[CNN]] reported the fight over Amazon is the fight for the future of the Democratic Party. Ocasio-Cortez tweeted: {{quotebox|"Anything is possible: today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon's corporate [[greed]], its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world."}} Warren tweeted {{quotebox|"How long will we allow giant [[corporation]]s to hold our democracy hostage?"}} Amazon was promised up to $1.5 billion in tax abatements in exchange for the promise of creating 25,000 jobs. Ocasio-Cortez believes a tax abatement is a bucket of cash the government can spend on subways or teachers. Warren called the tax incentives "bribes."<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/14/politics/amazon-aoc-democrats-future/index.html</ref>

==Democratic debates==
After the Democrat's First Debate in June 2019, the Sunrise activists succeeded in lobbying for two climate forums on [[CNN]] and [[MSNBC]] in September. Sunrise was quick to note on that it is not satisfied that these were “forums” as opposed to “debates.” [[Chris Hayes]], an editor-at-large with ''[[The Nation]]'' — a publication that has given copious editorial space to Sunrise, including publishing three separate appeals for reader support for Sunrise just in 2019 — will host the MSNBC forum.
Somehow Washington governor [[Jay Inslee]], who has staked his 2020 presidential campaign on climate change and whose plan Sunrise has endorsed, did not RSVP for the event. In an outburst during the Democratic debate on July 31, 2019 he berated former vice president [[Joe Biden]], yelling, “We cannot work this out! The time is up. Our house is on fire. We have to stop using coal in 10 years!” Neither did [[Tom Steyer]] respond. Steyer’s nonprofit NextGen America is also tied to Sunrise, and according to the New York Times, the two groups “strategize” together.<ref>https://archive.fo/ytfYT</ref> Inslee and Steyer are attempting to separate themselves from the openly [[communist]] organization.
