The Fall 2019 Sunrise Movement Fellowship is a program for young people (18-30) who want to fight the climate crisis and help fight for the health and well-being of all people. This is a chance to offer your unique talents to build the movement and learn new skills.
We are looking for a diverse group of young leaders to go all-in this fall to build the next phase of this campaign and lay the groundwork for 2020 in four key presidential swing states. Where possible participants will be trained to take on leadership roles in Sunrise Movement's massive 2020 youth organizing campaign. Ideal candidates will be excited about the prospect of continuing this work through 2020.
We are looking to fill place based organizing roles in Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan and Pennsylvania with a major focus on electoral work and voter contact. Likely about 50% of this work will be voter contact through phone-banking and canvassing. In place-based organizing roles, you will continue Sunrise's deep base-building in places we are already organizing in, or help us lay groundwork in new places where we are preparing to engage in critical elections in 2020. Fellows will organize volunteers to canvass and door knock. They will run campaigns for a Green New Deal by organizing protests and events targeting politicians. They will base-build and work with community partners to build power. This role includes a 4-month time commitment, with a built in evaluation period and knowledge that roles are subject to change, and that location may be subject to change midway through the fellowship as well. All roles will be based in movement houses or supporter housing.
Apply for the 2019 Fall fellowship at bit.ly/sunrisefallfellowship by July 21 and go all-in to make the Green New Deal a reality.

===== FELLOWSHIP SUPPORT =====
We work to make Sunrise fellowships as accessible as possible to those most directly impacted by injustice, including those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. With this in mind, this is the financial support structure for the fellowship:
Fellows will live together in movement houses, which are communal living spaces (shared houses) that allow us to support a vast number of full-time volunteer organizers from diverse backgrounds while building on a massive scale with limited resources. Movement houses allow us to model the world we are fighting to create while we follow in the tradition of other movements for social and economic justice.
Fellows will be supported through the program with housing, utilities, and food. Fellows will also receive direct support for transportation, a living stipend, and for those who need it, financial aid.
