The '''Sunrise Movement''' bills itself as "a movement to stop [[climate change]] and create millions of good jobs in the process." Sunrise’s initial officers Evan Weber, Matt Lichtash, and Michael Dorsey had all been affiliated with either [[Occupy Wall Street]] or the [[Sierra Club]]. Many of its members are alumni of the 2016 [[Bernie Sanders]] campaign.  The organization has been criticized for preaching [[climate change]] [[eschatology]] to elementary school and high school children.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2019/08/09/well-funded-environmental-extremists-sunrise-movement-gaining-within-left/</ref>

The Sunrise Movement, with established groups in several major cities, is the main cheerleader for the [[Green New Deal]]. Sunrise has heavily recruited activists from the [[Democratic Socialists of America]] (DSA) and [[Freedom Road Socialist Organization]] (FRSO) affiliated groups, such as the Pennsylvania Student Power Network.

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.
