WELCOME TO RISE AND RESIST!

WE’RE GLAD YOU’RE HERE 

Rise And Resist (RAR) began as a small group of individuals who were astounded by the results of the 2016 presidential election and were searching for ways to effect positive change. Since then, the group has developed into an agile community dedicated to nonviolent direct action. We are committed to opposing, disrupting, and defeating any government act that threatens democracy, equality, and our civil liberties. We collaborate on a wide variety of social justice issues.

RAR is composed of both seasoned activists and people who are new to activism.  Everyone’s input is important and valued, and we do our best to make sure that new members’ voices are heard.  You’re encouraged to contribute to the conversation, propose your own actions, learn skills, and join one of our committees. In our large General Group Tuesday night meetings, we discuss and vote on issues and actions we need to approve as an organization. Additionally, we share report backs on recent actions, announce upcoming actions, and hear requests for non-RAR actions.

We meet every Tuesday night in our General Group from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm on ZOOM.  Once a month, we meet at the LGBTQ Center at 208 West 13th Street in Manhattan. For any changes to the schedule (e.g. cancellation due to inclement weather, venue change), visit the RAR Facebook page: Facebook.com/RiseandResistNYC.
