The Sunrise Movement joined by the incoming congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have helped to push climate change to the center of American politics, with a Presidential-campaign season under way. A CNN poll in late April found that climate change was the very top issue of concern among registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, with eighty-two per cent rating it as a “very important” priority for Democratic candidates to take up. That figure can be attributed, in part, to the work Sunrise’s activists have done.
