This May Day we took to the streets with thousands of people across Chicago because the working class is fed up with billionaire rule. We are refusing to accept war, poverty, and climate collapse as inevitable.

The billionaire class has spent our whole lives telling us that their profit matters more than our future, and that nothing can change. We’re proving them wrong.

Sunrise is working across a coalition to build the kind of movement powerful enough to take on billionaire greed, ICE, fossil fuel executives, and corrupt politicians.

A better world is possible. Join us at the link in bio.

BREAKING: Young people and workers across Chicago are shutting it down for May Day!

NO WORK.
NO SCHOOL.
NO SPEND.

The billionaire class has rigged the system for their profit while we drown in debt, endless war, and climate collapse.

Today we send a message: without us, they have nothing.

This is the start of a youth uprising.

We are done accepting a future shaped by billionaire greed.
We are done complying with endless war.
We are done watching our planet burn for profit.

And we’re just getting started.

On Friday, May 1, we’ll be joining millions of others across the country for a day of no work, no school, & no shopping to demand that the needs of working people are put over the wildest dreams a few billionaires. There are no shortcuts to creating the level of mass, sustained disruption that we’ll need to win the world we deserve. One day of action isn’t going to do ther trick, but May 1 is our next chance to show the power we’ve already built and build the muscle for sustained disruption

Last Wednesday, Sunrise Chicago joined Southeast Environmental Task Force to host our first Make Polluters Pay community dinner in Woodlawn!

BREAKING: AIPAC called the cops on Chicago voters who came to their office demanding that they stop pouring $20 million into dark money PACs to sway Chicago elections.

AIPAC and its MAGA billionaire backers are trying to buy our elections while pushing endless war in Palestine and with Iran.

Overwhelmingly, voters don’t want to support AIPAC candidates, but AIPAC has started funneling its bribes into PACs with names like “Elect Chicago Women” to confuse voters and spread misinformation.

Chicago needs you on the phones contacting voters and letting them know who has their backs and who’s bought out by the pro-genocide lobby.
