We are proud to announce that our movement has voted resoundingly to endorse @BernieSanders for President of the United States.

📢Join the #GreenNewDeal political revolution: bit.ly/sunrise4bernie

#Sunrise4Bernie
@BernieSanders This is a huge moment for our movement. Today, we are endorsing @BernieSanders for President, but more than that, we are endorsing the movement— the political revolution— that we know is necessary to win a Green New Deal.

Read our full statement here👇

We will need to turn millions of people into the streets and disrupt business as usual in order to win a #GreenNewDeal.

But our movement has spoken clearly: a @BernieSanders presidency would create the best political terrain to win the future we deserve. nytimes.com/2020/01/09/us/…
If @BernieSanders wins the Presidency, we'll push to ensure that he makes the Green New Deal his top priority.

If he doesn't, the stakes are too high to sit the election out. No matter what, we must defeat Trump at the ballot box on Nov 3.

Why Bernie?

Here are just a few of the reasons our voter members cited in their support of @BernieSanders...
1⃣ His consistency.

Bernie has been calling the climate crisis “the most important issue facing civilization” since the 1980s, and he’s stood alongside movements fighting it since then, too.
2⃣ His responsiveness to social movements and new information.

Bernie has always prioritized climate. But in response to increased scientific warnings & pressure from social movements, Bernie leaned fully into the biggest, boldest Green New Deal platform that we've seen.

This upcoming week, Sunrise members will vote to determine if we endorse a presidential candidate ahead of the first primaries, and if so, who.

What does this process mean for Sunrise Movement?

Firstly, Sunrise has no north star that shines brighter than the #GreenNewDeal...
So if we endorse a candidate, it doesn't mean supporters of other candidates aren't welcome in our movement for the #GreenNewDeal.

It also doesn't mean we'll stop pushing all candidates to embrace our vision of the GND in a meaningful way, or uplifting their moments of advocacy
And if we don't endorse, it doesn't mean we don't think some candidates are better than others.

We will continue to uplift, criticize, and score candidates based on their vision and advocacy for the GND

It will mean that we will continue not to promote a candidate as *our pick*

.@BernieSanders isn’t fighting to win just one presidential election -- he’s fighting for the soul of our democracy.

Here’s more on why I’m so proud to give Bernie my endorsement for president of the United States:
Bernie is leading a working class movement to defeat Donald Trump that transcends generation, ethnicity, and geography. I know this from experience -- I’ve worked with him up close on bold progressive reforms. I’ve seen the values that motivate his fight for progress.
Bernie Sanders knows that in one of the richest countries in the world, no student should go without a hot meal. This week, we introduced a universal school lunch bill to make sure every student who wants a hot meal can get one year-round.

The Amazon the largest lung in our world is on fire😭.
It's time for humanity to stop & think seriously about what it is doing🤨.
Is this our legacy for future generations😠?
Is money more important than conserving nature😡?
🗣️We need the forests to survive.
🗣️Protect nature!

There is no "ngo" burning the #AmazonRainforest these are Cattle Ranchers, most of whom voted for #Bolsonaro. They're destroying the #Enviroment to steal #Indigenous land for themselves #NativeTwitter!#IndigenousRights #NativeLivesMatter

With that said, I believe Joe Biden is the most conservative & problematic candidate now officially in the race.

In the 70s he fought against integration.

In the 80s & 90s he fought harder for mass incarceration than any single Democrat.

In the 2000s he voted for the Iraq War.
The best years of Joe Biden's political career were the 8 years he spent as Vice President of the United States.

And that's mainly because he didn't get to set the agenda himself.

When he sets the agenda - it has consistently been for more war & more jail.

Period.
When I survey Biden's political career, I find it deeply problematic that he has to start out with an extensive apology for being wrong on some of the most important votes of the past 40 years.

And that we have to believe those wrong votes don't actually represent him.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
