10 years of organizing.

Join Rising Organizers as we celebrate a decade of building grassroots power. In the last ten years, we’ve trained more than 5,000 activists, welcomed 335 fellows, and partnered with nearly 100 organizations to develop grassroots leaders and build collective power for a more just, free, and democratic future.

Rising Organizers began our work in 2016, at a time when people across our communities were looking for ways to take action to defend our rights, liberties, and democracy. We put together a small training, thinking it might be a one-time event with a small audience—and then, more than 200 people showed up. This overwhelming response sparked what would become Rising Organizers.

We’ve spent the last ten years ensuring everyday people have the tools, training, and community to organize, build power, and change their communities for the better. That’s why we’re hosting this exciting 10th anniversary event. Come celebrate a decade of organizing, reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and raise a glass to everything we’ve built together and all we will create together.
