Rising Organizers teaches everyday people how to build local power and advance a free and fair democracy right where they live. We center our work on teaching new and emerging leaders about community organizing. By teaching these leaders how to organize, we’re teaching them how to ensure that the people impacted by policies have a say in how they are crafted and what they are. This puts power back into the hands of those who need it most, and ensures we can build a participatory, equitable democracy that works for all of us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5352c2af2096535477c036/84f5e76e-80b8-493a-bbc5-77a6221def8f/DnuDjaHX0AIsMCn.jpg Home - Our work We train people who are new to organizing work and social change to harness their power, story, and community to create impact. We believe that focusing on this underserved community expands the power and potential of movements for social justice and builds a more robust, participatory democracy. We know people power is the greatest tool there is—and that the best way of winning is bringing more and more people into social justice movements. We also know that new leaders require deeper relationship building, coaching, and community than established organizers, and have developed all of our programs with this specific audience in mind. Rising Organizers makes community organizing accessible and strategic. Through our programs, we grow communities' abilities to impact change, invest in key tools for healthy democratic participation, and fight for a future where our leaders are accountable to the people.

Before joining, I never knew how to start getting deeper into organizing and how to make a more intentional effort to make the world a better place. Through Rising Organizers, they highlighted the importance of developing a strategy and to focus on how it will impact the structural issues. I really enjoyed my time here and look forward to using these lessons learned!” - Azure, Spring 2020 Fellow https://www.risingorganizers.org/our-team-impact daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59dbc7c2cf81e0c47e15482d/1507745414569-G3QA4OL0JYWH8688QFOD/Untitled-2.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59dbc7c2cf81e0c47e15482d/1509981983687-PMYSPWW0U97LAXF4CMGC/_50A4610.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59dbc7c2cf81e0c47e15482d/1508275148421-TWP6TJBAX4ZO1TQX7KZA/Untitled-7.jpg Our Team - Our Team Here is a description of your team.

We believe in the power of movement organizing to create healthier, more participatory democracies. In fact, a great deal of the rights we enjoy as Americans were brought to you by organizers. Women’s right to vote, the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act—all of these and more were fought for and won by organizing movements facing serious democratic challenges. A lot of people don’t know what organizing is—or think it is only related to elections. Actually, there are many different types of organizing—including electoral organizing, but also issue, labor, tenant, and digital organizing. If voting is the mechanism that puts people in power, organizing is the mechanism that sets priorities for people with power once they’re there. When everyday people have the opportunity to organize, they get to set priorities for their communities. That means more civic participation, more equity, and more democracy for all of us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5352c2af2096535477c036/44d17bfc-d877-49ca-bb07-65822ac9aa2b/IMG_0125+cropped.jpg Our Strategy - Our Strategy We’re building a stronger, more equitable democracy. When people know how to organize, they can build a democracy that’s responsive to people’s real needs. Until underserved communities have a clear path to influence, they will continue to struggle against systems that were not designed to empower, protect, or sustain them. Making organizing training and coaching free and strategic is key to building that influence. At Rising Organizers, we’re organizing for a more equitable and just future. Grounded in anti-racism and social justice principles, we fight for a future that none of us have ever seen. We live in a country where our economic system enriches the wealthiest among us and disenfranchises the poorest, where anti-Blackness is rooted in our history and infrastructure, and where true democracy is still the struggle of every generation. At RO, we’re building power—and we’re building imagination about what’s possible. Through our trainings, political education programs, and community engagement work, we are fostering the future of social justice advocacy. https://www.risingorganizers.org/what-we-do daily 0.75 2022-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5352c2af2096535477c036/1533314194183-INP07RTC6WBUK3Q6WBXM/IMG_0118_BW+website+res.jpg Our Work https://www.risingorganizers.org/fellowship daily 0.75 2026-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5352c2af2096535477c036/1533314505643-JR5T6Q03BAZSUP98I4YO/BW_IMG-9360+website+res.JPG Organizing Fellowship https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5352c2af2096535477c036/1533295220848-5AYH1CH1BQ85F5OGLGYF/2017+Fall+Fellows.jpg Organizing Fellowship Fall 2017 Cohort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5352c2af2096535477c036/1596034672503-Z6SVXTW71W2J2YPLHP5N/Screen+Shot+2020-07-29+at+10.57.37+AM.png Organizing Fellowship Fall 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5352c2af2096535477c036/1533295400633-H4G07U5GRH0CR6309RP7/2018+Spring+Fellows.JPG Organizing Fellowship Spring 2018 Cohort https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5352c2af2096535477c036/1596036010672-7ASPS5SYRXQUHSKA3VZD/Dx35IYMXgAIBTIz.jpg Organizing Fellowship Spring 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5352c2af2096535477c036/1596036129192-WOG3JA6HIOB1D97T8G7U/Screen%252BShot%252B2020-07-29%252Bat%252B11.04.19%252BAM.jpg Organizing Fellowship Fall 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5352c2af2096535477c036/1596036191976-8OZNUA03UO6KB8ED8Z9K/ERjj5oTWoAArFC8.jpg Organizing Fellowship Spring 2020 https://www.risingorganizers.org/private-training daily 0.75 2024-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5352c2af2096535477c036/1533314598691-8G69ZJTV29W2DMT02V5Q/IMG_6847_BW+website+res.jpg Private Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5352c2af2096535477c036/1533295584494-83QBVGBWURZBVN5WZR94/IMG_6893.jpg Private Training https://www.risingorganizers.org/professionals daily 0.75 2023-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b5352c2af2096535477c036/1533314505643-JR5T6Q03BAZSUP98I4YO/BW_IMG-9360+website+res.JPG Professionals Fellowship https://www.risingorganizers.org/press-quote-impact-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.risingorganizers.org/our-programs-impact-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59dbc7c2cf81e0c47e15482d/1507822063979-U1YX8PJ2ZSJAT18D20I1/Untitled-3.jpg Our Programs https://www.risingorganizers.org/what-we-do-impact-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59dbc7c2cf81e0c47e15482d/1509981664066-URCHCKEDU0YDAYBKHSES/_50A4133.jpg What We Do - Our Mission Here is a description of your mission and goals.
