Join Sunrise Bay Area on Friday, April 24th to push our elected officials to support a People’s Bailout. Coronavirus has left millions without work, without healthcare, without security. We need a People’s Bailout to make our recovery just and equitable. We will be calling, emailing and texting federal and local representatives to endorse and begin working on just recovery plans.

Join Sunrise Bay Area on Friday, April 24th to push our elected officials to support a People’s Bailout. Coronavirus has left millions without work, without healthcare, without security.

A Green New Deal is central to a People’s Bailout because it will create millions of good jobs that transition us to an emission-free sustainable economy, with no-one left behind. A Green New Deal is a massive stimulus program to get America back to work while ensuring a livable future. We will communicate to our representatives how a Green New Deal not only addresses the needs of this current crisis, but will help mitigate a future of climate catastrophe.

We’ll be calling and emailing our Members of Congress and State Representatives demanding their support for a People’s Bailout for not only Californians, but for all of us. This will be the culmination of our three days of action for Earth Week 2020.

FAQ:

What time should I join?

You can pick a time slot any time on Friday afternoon that works with your schedule! Just note which slot in the sign-up form. There will be a facilitator during each to answer questions, provide details, and give you support.

I've never phone banked before. Is there a training?

We’ll be providing training starting at 12pm on how to effectively contact your representatives, including tips and scripts for calling and emailing them, give some informational background on what the People’s Bailout actually is, and provide a space for community and movement building beyond just Earth Day.

Can I join late?

If you're new we recommend coming to the beginning of a session for a quick orientation—it can be the beginning of any session (not just the one you signed up for!). If you've phone banked before, it's okay to come late during a session. We'll be on a video chat together, and we have found there are often long wait times when calling our representatives.
