📣 Let’s Rise Together: Join the One Million Rising Movement
Hi everyone,
I want to share a powerful new opportunity with you—one I wish I had shared sooner. It’s called One Million Rising, and it’s a national campaign focused on building real, lasting people power through strategic resistance and organizing. I missed the initial announcement due to taking a short break, and I truly apologize for not getting it out earlier. The good news? You can still catch up and take part!
What Is One Million Rising?
One Million Rising is a training initiative to help one million people across the country prepare to fight back against authoritarian threats. This isn’t about one-time action—it’s about long-term strategy, grounded in non-cooperation, community organizing, and campaign design.
We’re seeing coordinated attacks on our democracy, civil rights, and basic freedoms. From mass deportations to weaponized courts, the dangers are real. However, we don’t have to face them alone. Together, we can organize and resist—with purpose.

Why This Matters Now
Democracy won’t protect itself. While things may feel overwhelming, we have power when we act together. That’s why trainings like this matter. They offer us the structure and confidence to build something stronger than fear—right where we live.
You don’t need prior experience. You just need the willingness to show up and take that first step. And now is the time.
Let’s rise together—for truth, for justice, and for the future we’re determined to create. Let’s build something stronger than fear and hate – let’s take real action.
In solidarity,
Judy
Founder, Rescue Our Democracy
