Sunrise Movement is a national youth movement to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process. We’re building an army of young people to make climate change an urgent priority across America, end the corrupting influence of fossil fuel executives on our politics, and elect leaders who stand up for the health and wellbeing of all people.

The Pittsburgh Hub is a collective of students, artists, activists, educators and other Pittsburghers who believe that the future of our region relies on a transition to a green economy where nobody get's left behind and everybody gets a piece of the profit.

What do the young people at the Sunrise Movement mean when they demand a “good jobs and a livable future for all” in the Pittsburgh region?

• A GOOD JOB pays the bills without harming the health of workers, their neighbors, or the air, water and soil our communities need to survive. This means state and federal funding to train and transition workers across Western PA into good paying jobs (with benefits) in renewable energy, building retrofits, infrastructure updates, regenerative agriculture and other industries that improve the lives of families and communities.

• A LIVABLE FUTURE FOR ALL means no people or communities suffer a disproportionate burden of climate change and pollution, or goes without enjoying fair environmental benefits, because of their race, gender, or how much money they make. The climate crisis goes beyond science, and is an issue of health, policy, economics and ethics. It’s already impacting our lives and livelihoods, and our shared futures depend on immediate action at all levels of government.
