Today I’m thankful for the passion and energy of the young people in the Sunrise Movement. Last night, largely due to Sunrise’s heroic efforts, CNN held a 7-hour, in-depth conversation about the climate crisis and what needs to be done in order to avert the worst of it. Seven hours, people!
I tried to remember that today as I researched my work-for-hire bird project. Because, while I was thrilled to be eyeballs-deep in bird information, I was also disheartened over and over again to discover that many of those amazing, new-to-me birds’ existences are threatened due to human actions. Our species has made so many mistakes and we continue to make them with blatant disregard for the planet.
BUT. Last night was proof it’s possible to shift the conversation and for that, I am exceedingly grateful. All hail the Sunrise Movement!

It’s a great movement, and that event seems to have gotten lots of positive press, which is wonderful to see!

It’s great to see how the Sunrise Movement is pushing things forward in the US. It’s getting attention here in the UK, too – although Extinction Rebellion gets most of the headlines (that is, the small proportion that aren’t about Brexit).

The conversation is definitely shifting! I know some Extinction Rebellion folks and am grateful for the work they do. (Ah, Brexit.)
