A new campaign from advocacy organization The Leap is calling on progressives around the world to organize to take over federal governments and wield their power to address the climate crisis and other pressing global issues.

“Thanks to grassroots organizing, radical ideas like the Green New Deal have already gone mainstream,” Rajiv Sicora, senior manager of research and U.S. programming at The Leap, said in an email. “Now, to get these sweeping policies enacted, our movements have started taking the next step: winning elections and entering government.”

Narrated by actor and activist Danny Glover, the video asks activists to use democratic power to push for the implementation of the big ideas driving contemporary progressive movements. 

Climate advocates and progressive lawmakers reacted positively to the video’s message.
