Rise Up Times

For over ten years Rise Up Times has spoken, bringing you articles of substance about issues of substance.

Publishing began in earnest on RiseUpTimes.org in 2010, followed by Facebook and then other social media a year later in 2011. Rise Up Times covers issues of the day and shares ideas for the future from activists who know the issues they write about, providing insights and knowledge that provide a basis for informed actions, whether on the streets or signing petitions, writing letters the editor, or otherwise engaging in the nonviolent actions it takes to build a movement.

Rise Up Times publishes thoughtful analyses of those issues that affect our lives daily and serve as a basis for action. A gift of $25 will make it possible to continue to bring you active writings of stories, actions, events, and analysis.

Rise Up Times informs and educates, often posting longer, more philosophical pieces with discussion of ideas and issues via articles and videos, Zooms, webinars, and podcasts. Rise Up Times draws items to post from the many amazing non-mainstream news outlets online that publish work by activists who speak their thoughts and ideas, sometimes through action on the streets, sometimes as academic activists who share their understanding and knowledge or as journalists who discuss and analyze current significant and sometimes momentous events. All speak with conviction.
