Rise and Resist was formed in response to the 2016 U.S. election. We are a direct action group made up of both new and experienced activists committed to opposing, disrupting, and defeating any government act that threatens democracy, equality, and our civil liberties. We work collaboratively, creatively, respectfully, and with all the joy we can muster for the health of the people and the planet.
We reject State sanctioned violence, bigotry, and systemic discrimination in all its forms, including those directed at people because of their disability, gender identity/expression, immigration status, race, religion, sex, and sexuality. We condemn all the oppressive policies that define the current government regime. We strive to intentionally honor the complex challenges we face. Join us in fighting for justice!

"Rise and Resist is out there organizing direct actions against the Trump agenda, and if you want to help plan future actions rather than just show up at them, here's the meeting for you.
The group is looking for contributions from people from all walks of life, so if you're looking to help with data and policy analysis or organizing protests for the maximum impact or just want to join a smaller working group, there'll be something for you to do."
