On November 15th, Sunrise Ithaca is calling upon youth and adult allies to rally in downtown Ithaca in the wake of the 2024 Presidential and State Legislative elections as we reckon with the results and their implications for the climate crisis. We will march from Ithaca High School at 2:45pm and meet downtown at 3:30pm near the Bernie Milton Pavilion. Dress code is mostly black with a spark of red. Please RSVP here.

Regardless of who wins, this election will be a pivotal moment to take action and continue the necessary movement work of building long-term power to push our government to address the climate crisis with the scale and urgency it demands. Rally-goers will proceed to phonebank, calling our newly-elected officials to remind them of their mandated responsibility for our collective futures.
