The Sunrise Movement, a youth-led climate activist group, announced on Thursday that it will endorse Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ run for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The endorsement could provide Sanders a political boost among a crowded field of Democratic White House hopefuls competing for young and environmentally focused voters in the primary race, while reinforcing criticism among moderates that his proposals are too radical.

The youth movement, founded in 2017 by college students upset that politicians were not doing enough to combat global warming, now claims to have around 10,000 members.

"Senator Sanders has made it clear throughout his political career and in this campaign that he grasps the scale of the climate crisis, the urgency with which we must act to address it, and the opportunity we have in coming together to do so,” said Sunrise Movement Executive Director Varshini Prakash in a press release announcing the endorsement.

The Sunrise Movement has been a vocal proponent of a so-called Green New Deal that would decarbonize the U.S. economy within a decade through government-driven investments in clean energy, buildings, transportation, and jobs retraining.

They try to indoctrinate the kids in the public school system with my kids I UN- indoctrinate them For example I told my kids this giant ball of rock and ice doesn’t give a crap about you Another one: how do you explain 🌋 Volcanoes? Third one: I constantly show them weather forecast and how they change from day to day - and ask if they can’t predict the weather for the next few -days how the hell can they figure out what’s going to happen in the next 10 years? Finally I asked them about carbon dioxide-I asked them what are they breathing out right now and what do plants breathe in? So how can that be considered pollution? There actually very bright and they realize that Greta Thunberg is a complete moron and has mental problems Pretty good for fourth and seventh graders

Sunrise itself has direct ties to the divestment movement. Prakash led her campus’s UMass Fossil Fuel Divestment campaign for two years and later worked for the Divestment Student Network (DSN) coordinating various divestment campaigns throughout the country. DSN is a project of the Alliance for Global Justice, which has received grants from 350.org and the George Soros-backed Open Society Foundations, and also has ties to Occupy Wall Street.

“Instead of studying in a classroom, you’ll learn the real life skills of grassroots organizing, community building, and public speaking. If you’ve ever wanted to take a gap year after high school, take a semester off college, or leave your boring job, this is the time,” Sunrise’s narrator says...(from same link)

In short - this is NOT a grassroots youth organization - it's a job... paid for by professional organizers who are funded by commies...
