Über Rising Up
The RisingUp network promotes a fundamental change of our political and economic system to one which maximises well-being and minimises harm. We believe change needs to be nurtured in a culture of reverence, gratitude and inclusion; whilst the tools of civil disobedience and direct action are used to express our collective power.

We are open to experimentation and reflection, trying to learn from successful methods of organising. Any individual or group can take actions in the spirit and name of RisingUp without permission, if it fits RisingUp "DNA"; this covers our vision for change, our understanding of why change is needed, our decentralised structure, principles and values and our strategy and tactics.

If you post something on our page we (the admins) will generally publish it if we feel it fits with our concern that system change is needed, shares useful information and so on. It doesn't mean RU or the admins endorse anything that gets posted here.

We would like any discussions here to fit with our safer spaces policy.
As a movement we are committed to campaigning for the right to life and for the future - that of our children and the planet. We recognise that in order to change the world we must change the way we think about and form relationships with those we work and ally ourselves with. Our safer spaces policy strives to create this inclusivity. The world is currently defined by multiple hierarchies of race, class, gender, sexuality etc. For those at the 'bottom' of those hierarchies, much of the world isn't a safe space. To create safer spaces we need to challenge these hierarchies. Therefore, for our movement to be safe for everyone, it needs to be safe for the most marginalised.

It is our goal that every individual is welcomed regardless of ethnicity, class, gender, gender identity, gender presentation, sexuality, age, income, ability, appearance, immigration status, belief or non-belief and activist experience. Every individual in the movement is responsible for creating and maintaining a safe, compassionate and welcoming space. New people to the movement need to be explicitly welcomed. A simple starting point is adherence to these core principles.

Physical violence or the incitement to violence towards others is not accepted. Discriminatory behaviour, language or behaviour that exhibits racial domination, sexism, anti-Semitism, islamophobia, homophobia, ableism, class discrimination, prejudice around age and all other forms of oppression including abusive language towards others either during an action or elsewhere is not accepted whether physically or online.

The ground on which this movement stands is on the relationships between its participants. We will work every day to build trust, respect and reciprocity among all of us. We assume all members to have good intentions and will react against disrespect. We use conflict resolution techniques to deal with conflict in a healthy way that will bring growth to our movement. We ground our work in dialogue, healing, collective transformation and justice. We won’t tolerate shaming of each other or bullying in any form. This needs us to be honest and clear with ourselves and each other that we all carry prejudices and biases within and these must be acknowledged not dwelled upon negatively, it is up to us to change destructive habits and behaviours.
