It's time to make Biden use the full power of the presidency to declare a Climate Emergency. Sunrise Movement is kicking off our national Climate Emergency campaign on December 5th with a big livestreamed event. We will be meeting in person on Tues, Dec 5th at 8:30PM to watch together.

This summer, Phoenix had a straight month of temperatures over 110 degrees. Vermont was hit with storms that dumped 2 months worth of rain in 2 days, flooding towns across the state. Millions of people in the midwest and northeast choked on smoke-filled air from wildfires in Canada. In Maui, over 100 people are dead and whole towns are burnt to ash after fires ripped through the island.

And yet, Biden has not declared a climate emergency.

Declaring a climate emergency is one of the most important actions President Biden can take to lead an all out mobilization to confront the climate crisis. With a climate emergency declaration, Joe Biden could provide checks and free housing to victims of climate disasters. He could redirect funding to make our transit systems, homes, and schools resilient to extreme weather. Biden needs to use the same emergency powers that President Roosevelt used during World War II or that he and Trump used in response to COVID to ensure we are doing everything we can to confront the great crisis of our time.

That starts now! We’re kicking off our Climate Emergency campaign by asking young people across the country to hold a Launch Party in their homes, classrooms, and event spaces on Tuesday Dec 5th, 2023. These events will be an opportunity to connect with the people closest to us about the climate crisis – to get emotionally grounded in what’s at stake, and dig into our plan for how we can force the most powerful individual in the world to respond to the crisis with the seriousness needed.

It’s that time again! Our General Body Meeting: Climate Connections will be on

Sunday, August 20th at 1:30pm in the Palm Room of the Orlando Public Library

Join us as we dive into the heart of our mission - advocating for a Green New Deal with equity at the forefront! We’ll be talking about how to get involved and our next steps for the upcoming school year.

Join us for a crucial event as Sunrise Orlando presents their demands to "End Parking Minimums" before the Orange County's Board of County Commissioners. This anticipated Demand Delivery aims to address the detrimental impact of Parking Minimums on our communities and advocate for change.

Parking Minimums are municipal laws that enforce a fixed number of parking spaces to be allocated for any new development, regardless of its context, size, or actual demand. These regulations have been in place for years, perpetuating an outdated approach to urban planning that prioritizes cars over people.

We will present compelling evidence and arguments to the Orange County's Board of County Commissioners, urging them to prioritize the investment of public transportation and eliminating Parking Minimums. Our goal is to foster a dialogue that promotes flexible, context-sensitive parking policies that support vibrant, sustainable, and equitable communities.

We invite concerned residents, community organizations, developers, and advocates for smart urban planning to join us in this collective effort to transform our cities and create a more inclusive and sustainable future.

Please note: We will provide updates on the event time by Thursday July 6. Please keep your afternoon available!

Join us for our “Public Comment 101” where we will delve into the ins-and-outs of our upcoming July 11 Demand Delivery.
