1:36 am
sunrise in 2015. so you've been with the sunrise movement from the very beginning. what made you started? a number of us young people all under the age of 30, we're seeing that the hurricanes were getting bigger. the fire seasons were getting longer, the floods were getting bigger, but there wasn't a movement big enough for young people to ensure that we had a habitable planet for our future generations. you talk more about why you feel you need to act right now. so scientists are telling us right now that we have just 12 years to make unprecedented changes to transform every part of our economy and to our society, to de carbonized, to get off fossil fuels, to invest in renewables, and to protect life and human civilization on this planet, as we know it, and yet our politicians have not done what's necessary. they have not built and garnered the political will, that we need and people are dying. as a result,
1:37 am
the heart of the sunrise strategy is the green to deal with a radical environmental change policy. the idea for which was conceived in the u. s . in the 1960 s. the deal's goal is to completely transform the u. s. economy by ending as dependency on fossil fuels investing as jed and renewable energy and creating jobs in the process. the premium deal is a massive economic mobilization at a scale that we have not seen in this country since world war 2. that is an effort to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs. i'm curious to find out whether a real political change is possible with people power alone, particularly by those so young. i've come to the sunrise, boston hub. there are 204 hubs like this spread across the nation. here, every month, 60 sunrise members gather to share experiences. get behind the cars. welcome to our

1:39 am
they plan their next actions. what do we think will actually make high schoolers, unless we just post slide the green background with the words like brand new deal and put a link in our bio or something? i don't interrupt. so feel free to ignore my dear friends in high school care about climate change. a lie of people i know know that climate change is an issue there that's not to debate. the debate is how willingly are from get in both. i think a lot of young people don't feel like they have the power all to make any change if we actually come together to totally plan to him. so many things. i thought i was coming into a meeting and it's really a lot more than that. there is energy. they're engaged, you feel the sense of urgency is not a reality for them. this is their future and you can feel that but for all their passion, how effective
1:40 am
a sunrise actually been marsh these invited me to her home to show the impact sunrises had in the top tiers of power. so this was from our 1st action acts. nancy policies office in washington dc. and as you can see, there's literally hundreds of young people lining up the halls and they're carrying science that they, what is your plan? our ultimate goal was to share our vision of what the greeny deal is all about. look at this, there seems to be a sort of plan of action, right? there's a, there's a style that sunrise is using to achieve your goals. we're really trying to embody the fact that we are young people fighting for our future. and we want it to be joyous, and we want it to be raucous, and we want it to be serious and we want it to be determined and resolved. mm. sorry, say that older generations,
1:41 am
chronic and activity on environmental issues is inexcusable. ah, the united states will see all implementation of the nog by being paris accord. the current republic government refuses to even acknowledge. there is a problem. so sunrise, believe they must act to make change happen. it is a live art that are good talking right now, and they are being heard. green generation has risen on a growing number of democrats. senators now support the green new deal. and sunrise have found influential political allies in socially conscious representatives like alexandro castillo cortez. this is bright before representative of jose cortez unprecedentedly joined us on her 1st day of orientation as the new congresswoman. to say that we have nancy pelosi in the democratic parties back in pushing for the most progressive and ambitious energy agenda. this country has ever seen with
1:42 am
kathy but firm opposition to the green new deal remains. on the 26th of march, 2019, a draft of the deal was unanimously rejected by the republican controlled senate. how did you feel when the resolution got voted down in the senate? the goal of the resolution is for it to be a statement of values to chart a blueprint to lay out the projects of what would be included with in the green your deal. we need an attitude shifts, we need to put into gear and into momentum, these big ideas so that we can write the policy over the next year and get these things to pass me. sunrise aim to create momentum further caused by directly lobbying political leaders. do it, harry did sean and his team planned to doorstep andrea campbell,
1:43 am
the president of boston city council. the goals days get her to simon know fossil fuel, but she got it. i later down the road, we're working with her and i several other counselors to craft a resolution for greener deal. that's going to pass the city council chalet, missouri. the 1st step for the group is to encourage politicians to sign a pledge, promising that they would refuse money from fossil fuel companies who want them to act in their interest. over $1400.00 politicians have signed so far. as we approached the council president's office, i'm struck by this group's confidence. they walked straight in jail to meet you and your son on nice to me, you were palmed. we're here to ask you if you could side the know fossil fuel money plus sh. absolutely. i mean, i will say before even you know, sign this. thank you for your advocacy and you know, work, the stuff doesn't happen by accident. if people aren't showing up,
1:44 am
so happy to participate, happy to do this. i just want to say thank you. so it's not just her movement, whether confronting a lot of hostility, they're actually getting support and encouragement and more freely from politicians . i think we lead by example, and i know i do. and so by saying, let's do this. signing on and committing. we hoped that others would follow our lead. it's impressive to see these young people having genuine success in the halls of power. having meetings like this is really rhetoric because it shows up. we do have allies out there that we can be working with in the system to, to promote shades that we want to see in the world geography. the sunrise movement is clearly influential and it's getting results where it matters most. their ultimate goal is to convince the majority of congressmen and women to sponsor in the green new deal. so when the next government is elected in 2020, the bill has the weight of support to make it policy the sunrise. it is asking for
1:45 am
a lot and they're asking for quickly, critic say they're too idealistic for, for a problem as massive as climate change. we do need ambitious radical solutions now . ah, today's environmental site risings of the post as proof that incredible social change really is possible. in 19 o. 3 in britain, the suffragettes campaigned for women to have the rights to vote with a rallying cry of deeds not words they often resorted to extreme acts. at, at some race course, emily davidson even gave her life for the course. these tactics worked in 1928 women, one equal voting rights in britain, 35 years later in america, the civil rights movement. so to end racial segregation, martin luther king lex,

1:47 am
they would themselves extinction rebellion or exile for sure. i'm doing the right amount because they what, outside the system, engaging in bold, non violent acts of civil disobedience. their strategy is to create headline grabbing protest designed to maximize public exposure. they believe this will gain them a mass following and force real change. in just 6 months, they have already expanded into 15 countries to spread across full continent. i met their london headquarters on the day of one of their most extreme actions, yet in a protest day, a cooling ballade of all children exile plant, still 500 meters of fake blood on downing street office and residents of the british prime minister. hi k. and i live in history,
1:48 am
nice me one of x i was co founders is clare tiro, when the idea of the blood of our children, we were already suffering a genocide because of the impacts of pollution. so we're trying of this action to get people to understand that it's that it kills people and that it kills people. now it's already killing people. it's not like something ahead in the future. i think as we make our way to downing street, i want to know why that compelled to confront the political establishment in such a drastic way. we think it's important to our actions to direct to that government because this only, i think a state lead a thought internationally that's going to make a meaningful change to the situation that we're in. so we're trying to represent the kind of visceral reality of death and suffering which climate change has
1:49 am
already started to close around the world in which it will cause in the future. ah, the procession is designed to feel like a funeral match. it comes to a stop and the crowd for silence. ah, the thought of my children of children and young people with exxon and making a profound statement, just a stone's 30 from the prime minister's office. ah, we need to take action. we don't have much time left. please don't let this be the reality. ah, i'm struck by the wrong emotion on display. what is the political change that extinction rebellion want to see? what do you want to achieve by all of us? we do have 3 main demands. the 1st one is that for the government tell the truth,
1:50 am
it's helped communicate the crisis to the public. the 2nd demand is to reduce carbon emissions to net 0 by 2025. and then the 3rd demand, which i think is the main prizes to achieve structural political change in the form of the citizens assembly, ordinary people who are educated on the facts and then come together to talk about what might be the best route forward. do you think is achievable? i think is necessary x, i want to become impossible to ignore. so it's members are planning the biggest protest yet. they hope to bring london to a standstill with a 2 week human blockade of the city streets at exiles h key. i'm missing one of the chief coordinators of the shut down larch. maxi, what we're doing for with the rebellion is having a go up, causing the level of disruption that could bring about, you know,
1:51 am
the government to me, ottomans, do you think that you are risk of almost alienation yourself by crossing over into that legal category? look, this atomic choices, there's an ecological crisis. we're here to stop this exist central threat. we face, we nonviolent, the maintaining respect. we're putting ourselves on the lines were risking our liberty. the plan is to block the streets of the you, case capitol with walls of people, they'll chain lock and even glue themselves to structures and to one another. these actions are deliberately planned to create maximum disruption and caused arrests. just lichtenstein trains members on how to deal with the police in a non violent way can only have a activist who is willing to be arrested and carried off to please man in the middle you're willing to get said they're not going to make it easy for them members trained to go live as soon as they attached, or i was, they were gonna,
1:52 am
we're going to rest, you know? so it would take as many as 5 police officers to remove a single activist. by maximizing the number of arise, x are believe they can create publicity and a groundswell of support to extension 1000000000, see only way floor. this is the only way they believe that things are going to improve this through civil disobedience. and these kinds of actions. 15th of april, 2019 and it's the morning of the london shut down. the organizes are expecting thousands of protesters. they plan to block london to main street and bridges for 2 weeks, bringing the city to a grinding hope. i'm meeting claire as she prepares. what could be the biggest demonstration in exxon history and come in thank a feeling hopeful. i'm feeling hopeful that we're gonna have more impact. mm hm. half and more people are gonna understand the message and the,
1:53 am
and the seriousness of it. the reason why we have to do this is because it is this bad. we do feel this afraid to our future. don't know what else to do with extinction rebellions target is the government. but the people who will be hit hardest to day or the every day commuters as a tried to get to work. there's potential then the, all of this can be disrupted and people might be able to get to where they go. and because of the actions that say, hey, how is that justified? we're really sorry. we don't really want to do this, but we also don't want to pass on unlivable planets. the next generation we arrived at oxford circus at 8 30 am and only a handful of activists are here. we quickly get a taste of where public favour might lie. i'm not
1:54 am
quite sure how the group succeed in blocking the very heart of london was the plan here because at the moment, right. isn't all spies. there's nothing on it. so what is going to happen? groups of people are going to close roads and then something should be arriving way out of the blue reinforcements arrive. oh, it's something i didn't expect in a meeting with hundreds of activists crowd around the bite on the london shut down has become a, in a matter of hours, 10000 supporters descend upon 5 sites. of course, the capital,
