It's not a stretch to say the Green New Deal, a radical proposal to address climate change and inequality, would not be where it is today without the efforts of the Sunrise Movement.
They're an upstart environmental activist group lead by young people uniting to solve climate change and, in the process, are upending American politics. I had the pleasure of chatting with Sunrise Movement organizer Mile Goodrich and the author of The Climate Movement's Decades-Long Path to the Green New deal (link) from Dissent.
We talked about why the broader environmental movement is so afraid to build political power needed to win, the importance of moving fast and breaking things, the influence of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and what the future holds for the Sunrise Movement.
