    Your Role in a Green New Deal

    Growers provide the renewable sustenance that allows the rest of us to eat and grow. Modern agriculture practices are extremely wasteful and harmful to the environment, and we need people to explore renewable agricultural methods that will help regenerate our soils, climate, and ecosystems.

    We need new fertilizers, irrigation systems, seeds, and growing strategies. Growers love to spend their time learning from books and other people, but they certainly aren’t afraid to get dirty and learn directly with their hands.

    What Can You Do To Win Us Green New Careers?

    To win Green New Careers, we’ll need to work together to push politicians across the country to support bold climate infrastructure. The only thing politicians understand is power and we gain that through working together. We need to stand together as a movement to take direct action that brings awareness to our cause, bring votes to the ballot box, and organize our local communities to voice their need for Green New Careers. The Sunrise Movement is a national climate activist movement that has been fighting for the last five years to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process and our actions have brought climate to the front of national politics and we need your help to push it further.

    The way that we’ll win Green New Careers is by organizing our communities to fight for the futures we need. As a Grower, you enjoy being in touch with the environment and watching things grow and progress over time. And with your drive and goal-oriented mindset, you’ll need a role with plenty of opportunities to translate ideas into action. Whether that means literally feeding people by starting a neighborhood garden or providing strategic guidance in moments of crisis, your community knows they can count on you to show up and do what needs to be done to win a Green New Deal.
