Who We Are
R.I.S.E. is a revolutionary initiative rooted in survival, solidarity, and radical empowerment. This is not a limited movement, this includes all people of all races, cultures and creeds.
Though many of us are in the LGBTQIA+, the goal is simple, We exist to unify people across the U.S. in resisting systemic oppression, insisting on our visibility and rights, surviving through community-led support systems, and empowering each other through collective action and resources.
Our Mission
- Provide survival resources and safety nets for individuals across hostile states and regions.
- Foster cross-state connections and coalitions for support and protection.
- Empower people through education, mutual aid, and activism toolkits.
- Create digital and physical spaces where all people can thrive unapologetically, including LGBTQIA+.
The 4 Pillars of R.I.S.E.
Resist
We RESIST erasure, oppression, and violence through grassroots organizing and unyielding presence.
Insist
We INSIST on being seen, heard, and respected—demanding visibility and liberation, not just tolerance.
Survive
We SURVIVE and build by sharing survival resources—from housing to healthcare to legal aid—because survival is resistance.
Empower
We EMPOWER each other by spreading knowledge, skills, and networks. A rising tide lifts all of us.
What We Do
- Distribute toolkits for survival, protest, organizing, and mutual aid.
- Run digital safe spaces through platforms and Discord servers.
- Publish zines, propaganda, and art that empower and agitate.
- Coordinate cross-state safety networks for emergency relocation or support.
Join the Movement
R.I.S.E. is not an organization you join—it's a movement you build with us. Whether you're an artist, organizer, coder, writer, or just trying to survive: there's a place for you here.
