Support the Sunrise Movement

Nov 9

The votes are in for the Oct. poll for which organization will get a $50 donation from eclecticmisc.org!

Every month, site visitors participate in a poll to help me pick which progressive-friendly organization will get a $50 donation.

Here are some of the past winners that you’ve chosen, ranging from Jacobin to Planned Parenthood, and many in-between.

Of the six choices, the majority of people chose

The Sunrise Movement! 🌅

With the COP 26 UN Climate Change Summit starting the last day of October, and running through the end of this week, it’s both not a surprise that The Sunrise Movement got the most votes on the poll, and also a great time to donate to support their efforts to hold politicians accountable.

They’re one of the few high-visibility organizations that are directly taking on elected officials for their lack of action to address climate change and avert a climate catastrophe. The organization is focused mainly on youth activism, but there is also a role for those of us who are older, too in terms of volunteering, donating, and spreading the word. I’ve donated to The Sunrise Movement in the past and am very happy to do so again.

If you haven’t yet please consider getting involved by volunteering or donating to them. The results of the poll, some comments from people who voted, and receipt for the donation are below. Thanks again to all who voted!

Please come back for more tomorrow, or follow me on Twitter for political and “random” content, and also the November donation poll, which will be opening up on Friday this week.

The votes!

The comments!

This was a tough call because you picked so many deserving causes this month! However, I went with Sunrise because we need constant direct action on the climate crisis--especially now that SCOTUS will likely block the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases.

I was going with Cori cause she needs to stay in DC, but its getting cold and National low Income Housing is going to need a lot of help this year. You are not making this an easy choice. However love what you do & thank you for doing it. ;)
