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 is openly endorsed by the DSA and several [[FRSO]]-affiliated groups, including Bay Area-based Green For All, which was founded by [[Maoist]] and former [[Obama administration]] Green Czar [[Van Jones]].
Founding activists Will Lawrence, Dyanna Jaye, and Sara Blazevic are all current trainers with [[Momentum Community]],<ref>https://www.momentumcommunity.org/</ref> 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.
The Sunrise Movement targets suburban white adolescents for indoctrination with radical and even violent [[Cultural Marxist]] theory to advance ideals such as [[gay marriage]], the [[Green New Deal]], [[Medicare for All]], [[slave reparations]], [[Abolish ICE]], [[Defund the Police]], and violent uprising to achieve racial, social, and "[[climate justice]]".<ref>https://youtu.be/DgsnyHILdb8</ref> Sunrise's 100 Day Siege plan was for the November [[2020 Presidential election]] was activate on July 2020 as part of the [[2020 Marxist uprising]].<ref>https://youtu.be/a6WeOjSjCwU</ref>

==Funding==
Only filings for Sunrise Movement Education Fund were located in the District of Columbia’s Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs database; no results were found relating to Sunrise Movement. The U.S. Climate Action Network (US-CAN) awarded the Sunrise Movement Education Fund a “Member Empowerment Grant” in 2018. USCAN claims its grants are to support “collaborations and grassroots leadership” to fight against fossil fuels. According to USCAN, the grant awarded to the Sunrise Movement Education fund will support “in-person convening and coalition-building” to align activists across “environmental, labor, racial justice, and economic justice organizations.” USCAN did not provide specific details regarding the monetary amount of the grant. Additionally, the street address listed on USCAN’s website is identical to that of the Sunrise Movement Education Fund.<ref>https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/sunrise-movement-education-fund/</ref>
==ShutDownDC==
[[File:Democrats 2018.png|right|300px|thumb|To defeat President Trump, Democrats at all levels unleashed a wave of chaos and [[lawlessness]] across America. Democrat governors and mayors ordered police to stand down, allowing Democrat rioters to destroy the lives, property, and businesses of taxpayers and citizens in cities across the United States.]]
ShutDownDC, a progeny of the [[Sunrise Movement]], says on its website:
{{quotebox-float|If You’re in DC: Come to Black Lives Matter Plaza.
On Election Day, when you’re done voting, doing election protection, or getting out the vote, come join us at Black Lives Matter Plaza.
We’re inviting everybody who agrees with these organizing principles to work together to make this uprising happen. We’re going to make sure Trump leaves. From election night on, as the situation changes and evolves we all work together to make that happen.
If You’re Not in DC:
Organize in your community! Find out where the votes will be counted where you live. Make a plan with others to get there and stay until all the votes are counted. And come up with a plan to create serious disruption if Trump really tries to steal the election!
Be ready to block a highway (or all the highways in your town), shut down a port, occupy your state capitol, do whatever it takes! We hope to be able to offer trainings and support to groups outside DC that share our principles.<ref>https://www.shutdowndc.org/election2020</ref>}}
During a leaked Zoom call highlighting the role of “Shut Down DC,” a spokesman states:
{{quotebox|"We have been in discussion for a couple of months about how to respond to different contested election scenarios. The first step is we think we need to start the post-election phase in the streets, so we invite everyone to come to BLM (Black Lives Matter) Plaza any time after 4:00 on election night. On the 5th, we’re going to shut down the White House. On the 6th, we’re going to shut down larger parts of DC and then the following week, all the mainstream groups are going to come to DC and try to have a march on the 7th."}}
The network enlisted the several key players including [[Lisa Fithian]], a long-time Democrat terror organizer and trainer including stints with [[Occupy Wall Street]], the Obama [[Ferguson Riots]] and various unions. In the leaked Zoom chat describing tools and tactics to shut down DC, Fithian states:
{{quotebox|"Whoever’s got the guns can win – let’s take over the buildings! We are going to be in a crisis but we want it to be one that we are creating. We want to make sure that we are on the offense and not the defense. We want them to be responding to us and not us responding to them."}}
ShutDownDC came together during the summer of 2019 to organize to respond to the Youth Climate Strikers Call to Action. It is an organizing space where individuals and organizations can come together to organize [[direct action]] for [[climate justice]]. On September 23, 2019, 22 affinity groups organized blockades of 17 intersections around the [[District of Columbia]], effectively shutting down traffic in the nation's capital. Over the next several months, DC-based organizers came together in the #ShutDownDC space to organize a continuing series of actions and Marxist training events.<ref>https://archive.is/ZeW34</ref> The website openly calls for overthrow of the existing order:
{{quotebox|We recognize that many of the challenges that we are facing did not start when Trump was elected president and they will not end when he is forced from office.
We are not seeking a ‘return to normalcy,’ because we know that returning to ‘normal’ means returning to a system that was built on oppression. Rather, we see this as the time to rise up against the current crisis and move forward to dismantle the interlocking systems of oppression that have plagued this land for centuries. [...]
But we also recognize that forcing Trump from office is the only way to protect ourselves and the people we love from Trump’s wrath, so we will act with the urgency that the situation requires. [...] we plan to use the tools and tactical approaches that we have the capacity and expertise to implement, including disruptive direct action, mass mobilization, coordinated non-compliance, mutual aid, and other forms of civil resistance.<ref>https://www.shutdowndc.org/principles</ref>}}
Dozens of leaked internal documents and Zoom call video footage were leaked describing plans by [[progressive]] activists and [[civil service system|federal workers]] to disrupt and destabilize the US presidential election outcome, including plans to “shut down the White House.”<ref>https://www.sunriseexposed.com/</ref><ref>https://www.exposesunrise.com/</ref> The information was leaked by a disaffected insider of the “Sunrise Movement,” part of a loose but extremely coordinated network of liberal activists mobilizing around the country in an effort to foment chaos in the wake of a potential Trump victory or a contested election.
A leaked Zoom call featured federal workers, including [[attorney]]s and members of the [[intelligence community]], conspiring to use their protected status and positions of power to disrupt and destabilize an outcome beneficial to Donald Trump.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrPXiz4m7nk&feature=youtu.be</ref>
