The next phase of our movement starts now. The climate crisis is worsening, Right-wing extremists are vying to control our communities, politicians have turned our lives into a political game. It’s clear our generation must take over.

Our vision of the future does not include more pipelines. Our vision of the future does not leave any communities behind. Our vision is free of fossil fuels. Every Senator who stands for climate justice must vote NO on Joe Manchin's dirty deal.

The climate crisis was at the very bottom of the political agenda when we launched in 2017. We made it into an urgent, national priority -- and won hundreds of billions of dollars for good clean jobs. Where do we go from here? Everywhere.

After our generation won the midterms for Biden, he quickly abandoned us. This is a massive blow to Biden’s legacy on climate.

Biden backs Manchin permitting proposal: "I support Senator Manchin’s permitting reform proposal as a way to cut Americans’ energy bills, promote US energy security, and boost our ability to get energy projects built and connected to the grid."

What does that mean? - We’re taking over our schools. - We’re building a movement across race and class to bring the Green New Deal to cities and towns across the country. - We’re fighting for control of all levels of governments.

Fighting alongside these young folks has been so inspiring and sooo much fun. I believe we're going to win because I've seen us do seemingly impossible things over and over again. The next phase of our movement is launching this week and you should join!

We can’t resort to the same tactics we’ve used in the past. It’s time for us to get serious about building long-term power and organizing a movement across race and class that can take over every level of government and transform society. We're taking over.

Coming off of a really successful five years of raising the urgency on climate and forcing the federal government to deliver bold action, we’re going back to our roots and focusing on building an unstoppable movement to win a Green New Deal.
Our Programs: Green New Deal for Schools. We will bring the movement for the Green New Deal to every student, classroom and school in this country. 

Together, we will:
- Fix our buildings and buses
- Force our schools to teach us the truth about the climate crisis
- Make student lunches free
- Create pathways to green jobs
- Ensure our schools have a plan for when climate disaster strikes

We're taking over our schools. And with millions of students on our side, we will transform our schools and win a Green New Deal.

Our Programs: Green New Deal for Communities

We will organize thousands of young people to bring the Green New Deal to cities and towns across the country and win bold climate policies that improve our lives. 

We'll do that by:
- Organizing in the Black, brown and working class communities that have long held our country together
- Knocking on doors and talking to our neighbors
- Marching in the streets to demand justice
- Making our movement impossible for our politicians to ignore 

Together, we will win free public transportation. We will win more safe public housing. We will win good jobs for all. And we will stop the climate crisis.
