Rise Up Against Racism is a non-profit organization focused on implementing change through sustainable initiatives.
Centering on families and education, we encourage antiracist learning and bring communities together to actively dismantle racism.

Our first step in this work is to enrich our children’s minds with stories from diverse voices and to provide our community with a collection of antiracist books.
Where Our Story Began
On the eve of Juneteenth in 2020, we came together to take action against systemic racism. We kneeled for 8 minutes and 46 seconds to pay tribute to George Floyd and the countless lives lost to racial injustice. And when we rose together, we pledged our commitment to stand as a community against racism.
