“If Democrats do not reengage young people, there is no path to the House and Senate.' Youth-led climate group sunrisemvmt warns Democrats to pay more attention to young voters.
“Right now, people don’t see a government worth fighting for. For them to participate, they need a vision that meets the scale of the crisis we face. That’s what we saw in Greg and Jessica’s race[s],” says Texas-based Sunrise member Kidus Girma.
Sunrise is currently celebrating the wins of Casar, who outright won his primary, and Cisneros, whose primary against her former employer, Rep. Henry Cuellar —— is heading to a runoff. According to Sunrise, its organizers and volunteers made over 700,000 voter-contact attempts in advance of Cisneros’s primary.
For Sunrise, Cisneros’s campaign is “a great reminder that young people will show up and organize for candidates like Jessica who champion real progressive change,” says Ezra Oliff-Lieberman, Sunrise’s electoral distributed manager. “The lesson is clear: If you want young people behind you, run Green New Deal candidates.", credits Sunrise with propelling her campaign forward. “The Sunrise Movement is a force to be reckoned with," she says.
If Sunrise succeeds in getting more Green New Deal supporters elected, that’s still only part of their battle; the Democrats have to meet them the rest of the way for the Green New Deal to make any headway. So the memo strikes a clear tone: Stop taking us, and our voters, for granted. “If Democrats do not reengage young people — both to get them to the polls and to get them on the phones and knocking on doors — there is no path to the House and Senate," the memo concludes. "And the best way to do that is running on an unapologetically bold climate platform.
