9:37 am
political will. that we need and people are dying as a result. at the heart of the center i strategy is the green new deal. a radical environmental change policy, the idea of her, which was conceived in the us and the $960.00. the deal's goal is to completely transform the u. s. economy by ending its dependency on fossil fuels, investing as jed and renewable energy and creating jobs in the process. the greener 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 stock climate change and create millions of good jobs. ah, 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.
9:38 am
here every month, 60 sunrise members gather to share experiences, get behind the cos. welcome to our april 2nd and how do i get in doing a to hubs, get 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 greater moment in history. these are young people need to be hurt. it's pretty tough for tmj. yes. mm hm. and they want to take positive steps to fix the world. we live in a little direction. what kind of trust?

9:40 am
all their passion, how effective it's actually been marsh these invited me to her home to show the impact on writers had in the top tears power. so this is from our 1st action ass, nancy pelosi 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 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 me center
9:41 am
. i say that older generations, chronic and activity on environmental issues is inexcusable. the united states will cease all implementation of the non binding paris accord. the current republic government refuses to even acknowledge. there is a problem. sunrise, believe they must act to make change happen and is alive or that can talk to you right now. and they are being heard. green generation has risen up a growing number of democrat senators now support the green new deal. and sunrise have found influential political allies and socially conscious representative like alexandria castillo cortez. this is right before representative because the cortez unprecedentedly joined us on her 1st day of orientation as a new congress woman to say that we have nancy pelosi in the democratic party back in pushing for the most progressive in ambitious energy agenda. the country has
9:42 am
ever seen and it's about the fact that we get boy a set of teachers for our case. and we know that when i was 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 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 more mental. 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. hi,
9:43 am
sean and his team plan to doorstep andrea campbell, the president of boston city council, got it. the goal today is get into the simon know possibly money, but she got it. i later down the road, we're working with her. several other counselors to crap. the resolution for every new deal that's going to pass the city council chalet. yet louis the 1st step for the group is to encourage politicians to sign a pledge, promising that they will refuse money from thought that the companies who want them to act in their interests are over $1400.00 politicians have signed so far. as the approach, the council president office, i'm struck by the fruits confident they walk straight in just to meet you. nice to me, you are pan. we're here to ask you if you could find the know fossil fuel money plus? absolutely, i will say before even sign with thank you for your advocacy work. the

9:45 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 is of us climate change. we do need ambitious radical solutions now with today's environmental sight risings of the past. as proof, it's incredible. social change really is possible. in 19 or 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 cause. these tactics worked in 1928 women, one equal voting rights in britain, 35 years later in america,
9:46 am
the civil rights movement. so to end racial segregation, martin luther king lex, the peaceful protest. no problem is the most horrible of available hoover mid morning, early february for freedom in human business by 968. after a decade of campaigning, african americans to secure legal rights to equal employment voting and housing. by analyzing passive resistance movements, political scientist erica chen away identified a threshold for success. a 3 and a half percent, the population mobilized against the establishment. social change will happen with pause many of us need to change the way we treat out. there is one group just taking things to the next level. in october 2018,
9:47 am
a group of activists and good by political inaction on climate change 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 now. i rendered, i say, what outside the system engaging in bold, non violent acts of civil disobedience. their strategy is to create headline grabbing protests designed to maximize public exposure. they believe this will gain them a mass following and force real changed. 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,
9:48 am
an residence of british prime minister hiker. and i live in history. nice me one of the x i was co founders is clare tiro waited. 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 our actions to direct to that government because his own ne, 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
9:49 am
the kind of visceral reality of death and suffering which climate change has already started to close around the world in which it will cause in the future. the procession is designed to feel like a funeral match. it comes to a stop. and carl, to silence. ah, this is the part of my children of my children and young people here, day x r a, making a profound statement, just a stone's theory from the prime minister's office. we need to take action. we don't have much time left. please don't let this be the reality. i'm struck by the emotion on the display. what is the political change the extinction rebellion? want to see? what do you want to achieve by all of us?
9:50 am
we do have 3 main demands. the 1st one is 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 a 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 it cheaper? well, i think it's necessary. mm hm. 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. maxie, what we're doing with the rebellion is having it go out causing the level of
9:51 am
disruption that could bring about you know, the government to me, i demolish. do you think that you are risk of almost alienation yourself by crossing over into that legal category and a climate crisis? there's an ecological crisis. we're here to stop this. he exist central threat. we face, we non violent maintaining respect reporting ourselves on the lines. we're 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 he is willing to be arrested and carried off that these mom in the middle you're willing to gara said they're not going to make it easy for that
9:52 am
members are trained to go live as soon as they attached, or i will say we're gonna, we're going to rest well. so it would take as many as 5 police offices to remove a single activist. by maximizing the number of arrests, exxon believe they can create publicity and a groundswell of support. extension rebellion, see only way floor. this is the only way they believe that things are going to improve the sort of civil disobedience and these kinds of actions. 15th of april, 2019 and it's the morning of the london shut down. the organizers are expecting thousands of protesters. they plan to block london's main streets and bridges for 2 weeks, bringing the city to a grinding hope. i'm meeting class, she prepares for what could be the biggest demonstration in exxon history and come in thank
9:53 am
a feeling hopeful. i'm feeling hopeful that we're going to have more impact with him. huff and more people can understand the message and the, and the seriousness of it. the reason why we have to do this is because it is this bad. we do feel this afraid of our future. a with extinction rebellions target is the government. but the people who will be hit hardest to day or the every day commute is as a tried to get to work this 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? by really sorry, we don't really want to do this, but we also don't want to pass on a livable planet the next generation. we arrive at oxford circus at 8 30 am and only a handful of activists ahead. we quickly get
9:54 am
a taste of where public favour might lie with i'm not quite sure how the group succeed in blocking the very heart of london was the plan here because at the moment the rate isn't occupies, there's nothing on it. so what is going to happen groups of people are going to. a close roads and then something should be arriving way the good out of the blue reinforcements arrive. oh, it's something i didn't expect in a meeting with hundreds of activists crowd around the boat on the london shut down has begun in
9:55 am
a matter of hours. $10000.00 supporters descend upon 5 sites, of course, the capital, oxford circus parliament square marble arch, piccadilly, circus, and worsley bridge manned by lauch and his team. they have blocks, entire stretch of rage, with trees, a music stage, camps and a human bull. i place them in the and i've managed to find locked status. notice police activity, correct? i'm just watching them go. boy, come in on what's been happening or we're just kind of monitoring the place. those numbers have increased slightly at some point that gonna be under pressure to clear the bridge for me. and what we've got to try and do is getting them to build. question is, how much disruption will the government force us to create until they do the right thing and meet the demands and start to try and keep us safe? and you're willing to lose your liberty for it and get arrested if people are willing to sacrifice the liberty, it sends a message to the public, to the media and to the guilt, the politicians that this is
9:56 am
