RISE Stronger Information

RISE works to build a dynamic, strategic movement of politically engaged communities that demand a responsible and accountable government which serves the interests of the people. We seek to empower and redefine what it means to be a citizen by helping to shape these communities into a strong movement using four pillars: • Shared strategy - to build a common identity, purpose, and language • Shared tools - to empower local groups and communities • Shared resources - to amplify our effectiveness and impact • Shared information – to drive the political agenda We believe that: • Our government is responsible to its constituents • Diversity and inclusivity are essential to progress • The success of our work is based in our respect for local, community-based knowledge • Collaboration is essential to achieving our vision • Living by the motto, “no ego no turf” is the key to sustaining and growing this movement
