ABOUT US

Sunrise CT is a youth-led organisation focused on stopping climate change, ensuring environmental justice, and creating thousands of good jobs in the process. We mobilise youth across our state to demand climate action at the scale we need by lobbying elected officials for equitable policy changes, organising strikes and other direct actions, campaigning for climate champions, and partnering with community-based organisations at the intersections of environmental and social justice.
