How it started
Rise began in 2014 as an effort to bring equality to sexual assault survivors across the country and around the world.
Along the way, it became something even bigger: a model for how anyone can drive democracy, scale hope, and create change.
ABOUT US
Our incredible journey so far
We are leaders from #MeToo, #StopAsianHate, Women’s March, and March for Our Lives – the largest grassroots organizing moments in recent US history. We started by fighting for survivors of sexual violence and collectively, we’ve passed more than 65 laws.
