4:36 am
fuel divestment campaign before co founding sunrise in 2015. 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 fires, seasons were getting longer, the lines 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 so our society to be 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 get our politicians have not done what's necessary. they have not built and garner the political will. that we need and people are dying as
4:37 am
a result of the heart of the center i. strategy is the green new deal, a radical environmental change policy. the idea for which was conceived in the us in the 1960. the deal's goal is to completely transform the u. s. economy by ending its dependency on fossil fuels, investing its jed and renewable energy, and creating jobs in the process. the green here deal is all massive economic mobilization at a scale that we have not seen in this country since world war 2. that is an effort to stock climate change and create millions of good jobs. i'm curious to find out what the 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.
4:38 am
here every month, 60 sunrise members gather to share experiences, get behind the cause. welcome to our april 2nd, how do i get in doing a to hubs? give people of all backgrounds an opportunity to come together and voice, their concerns. every single person who decided to come to the senior today is a part of this movement is a part of this great moment in history. these are young people need to be hurt. it's free to ask you to talk for tmj. mm hm. and they want to take positive steps to fix the world. we live in a direction. what kind of trust?
4:39 am
yes. the hub splits into breakout groups where they plan their next actions. what do we think will actually make high schoolers enlist? we just post like a green background with the words like brand new to you and put a link in our bio or something i don't interrupt. so feel free to hear me. dear friends in high school care about climate change, a lie. people i know know that climate change is an issue there. that's not to be debated how willingly are to get and i think a lot of people don't feel like they have the power to make any change if we actually come together totally pantry. and so many things i thought was coming into meetings, and it's really a lot more than that very energy. they're engaged, you build a sense of urgency. it's not a reality for them. this is their teacher. and you can feel that the for
4:40 am
all their passion, how effective it's been. i've actually been marsh these invited me to her home to show the impact sunrises had in the top tears just power. so this was from our 1st action at nancy policies office in washington dc. and as you can see, there's literally hundreds of young people whining up the halls and they're carrying science that say, what is your plan? our ultimate goal was to share our vision of what the green, the deal is all about. look at this or seems to be a sort of plan of action, right? there's a, there's a style that sunrise is using to achieve your goal. 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

4:42 am
never seen this about caring and it's about the fact that we get boy and maybe that are teacher for our case. and you know that i would burn opposition to the green deal remain 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 the green new deal. we need an attitude shift. 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 in. sunrise aim to create momentum for their cars by directly lobbying political leaders. you do it?
4:43 am

accident that people aren't showing up. so happy to participate. happy to do that. i just want to say things so it's not just movement where they're confronting a lot of hostility, they're actually getting support and encouragement and more really, from politician i think we lead by example, and i know i do. and so by saying, let's do this signing on. and committing, we hope that others will 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 rushing because it shows that we do have that out there that we can be working within the system to promote change that we want to see in the world. 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 the green new deal. so when the next government is elected in 2020,
4:45 am
the bill has the weight of support to make it policy. the sunrise movement is asking for a lot and they're asking for a quickly critic stay there to elicit before problem as massive as climate change. we do need ambitious radical solutions now. ah, ah, today's environmental sight of the past as proofs, it's incredible. social change really is possible in 19 o. 3 in britain, the suffragettes campaigns for women to have the rights to vote with a rallying cry of deeds, not words they often resort to extreme acts at at some race course. emily davidson even gave her life for the cause. these tactics worked in 1928 women, one equal voting rights in britain, 35 years later in america,

declared themselves to be an open defiance of the u. k. government. they called themselves extinction. rebellion or x are for sure. i'm doing the right amount is in for a company they, they work 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 that london headquarters on the day of one of their most extreme actions. yet in a protest day, a cooling blood of all children exile plant, still 500 liters of fake blood on downing street office and residents of british
4:48 am
prime minister high care. and i live in history, nice me one of the x i was co founders is clare tiro, when the idea of the blood of our children 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. a, as we make our way to downing street, i want to know why they're compelled to confront the political establishment in such a drastic way. we think it's important that our actions are 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

4:50 am
we do have 3 main demands. the 1st one is that for the government to tell the truth, it's helped to 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 straightforward. do you think it's, it's either, well, i think it's necessary. mm hm. x, i want to become impossible to ignore. so its 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,

4:53 am
and more people are going to understand the message from the and the seriousness of it. the reason why we have to do this is because it is not bad. we do feel this afraid off. i don't know what else to say. extinction rebellions target is the government but the people who be hit hardest today on the everyday commuters as they try to get to work the tension, then the all of it can be destructive people might get to where they go into the action. how is that justifies we really sorry. we don't really want to do that, but we also don't want to pass on another planet simulation. we arrive at the 2nd at 8 30 am and only a handful of a head. we quickly get a taste of where public favour might lie. i'm not
4:54 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 and leaving 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 begun in a matter of hours. $10000.00 supporters descend upon 5 sites across the capital,
