Silicon Valley has a long history of organizing and of Black and Brown communities, AAPI communities and immigrant communities coming together to fight for living wages, renter protections, and improved working conditions.
It’s time to build on our rich tradition of leadership and organizing and develop emerging leaders who are rooted in and accountable to their communities, and who can move organizations, community members, government and businesses to work together and drive positive, inclusive transformation in our communities.
RiseUp SV is aimed at nurturing a space in which emerging leaders can connect with the vision, tools, and relationships they need to collectively lead their communities towards just and resilient futures.
