About Us

RISE is the new nonviolent action wing of the immigrant rights movement. We are neither isolated individuals nor a coalition of organizations. Rather, we are many independent leaders unified by a common message, strategy, nonviolent discipline, and brand.

We are a movement that will rapidly grow through the momentum generated by our militant nonviolent actions for immigrant rights.

We believe the aggressive enforcement of the unjust laws of our broken immigration system is tearing our country apart. The national policy, and its local reflections, of raids, detentions, and deportations targeting the millions of undocumented immigrants who are an essential part of our nation is ripping our families apart, terrorizing our communities, and shredding the civil and constitutional rights that define America. It must stop. Now.

The essential strategy of RISE will unfold in two phases.

In the 1st phase, beginning now and continuing through the first 100 days of the next administration, we will engage in lower-risk nonviolent tactics designed to rapidly recruit and train new members and popularize our national brand.

In the 2nd phase, we will escalate to a sustained campaign of nationally-coordinated mass nonviolent action designed to make the enforcement of the unjust laws of our broken immigration system politically and practically impossible. The campaign will create an urgent moral imperative and a political necessity to achieve just and humane federal immigration reform now.

Anyone can join and become a leader in RISE by participating in a basic training and adopting our common message, strategy, nonviolent discipline, and brand.

Background

RISE was formed after a series of meetings exploring nonviolent movement strategy that brought together immigrant rights leaders from across the country. We decided that in order to address the current crisis of immigration law enforcement and win reform there was a need to build a militant nonviolent wing of our movement. In our strategy and tactics we learn from the example of successful nonviolent struggles from all over the world, from César Chávez and the farmworkers to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
