Sunrise Movement Chicago
Sunrise is a movement to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs in the process.
Since the Chicago hub of Sunrise Movement launched in January 2019, I have served as the Communications Lead on the core team. I lead a team of folks focusing on social media content creation, writing hub-wide emails, and traditional media relations. My goal is to ensure the hub has a cohesive voice and visual identity across our social media platforms, while finding new ways to engage current and potential members!
Town HalL
In May 2019, Sunrise Movement Chicago hosted a Green New Deal Town Hall to engage our community on climate change policy. In anticipation of this large event, I created a media plan with branded graphics to build hype and awareness. Our event sold out (450 tickets) and we engaged with thousands of Chicagoans on social media before and after the event.
event branding
I visually brand each of our hub’s events with text and photo treatments.
social media
The Sunrise Movement Chicago social media accounts have a highly engaged audience that has been rapidly growing since January. We livestream and live-tweet the vast majority of our actions to engage folks who are not attending in person.

I have produced multiple promotional videos for Sunrise Movement Chicago events.
