If you are looking for inspiration, check out the Sunrise Movement – a youth movement to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process. They are one of the chief proponents of the U.S. Green New Deal. What is impressive is that they are not naïve. They have studied the history of social transformation, noting Harvard Kennedy School’s research that finds no non-violent civil resistance movement from 1900 to 2006 has ever failed once they achieve the active and sustained participation of just 3.5% of the population. Can you join, promote or support the Sunrise Movement?
