ABOUT US
We are the Rise Above Justice Movement, a grassroots initiative that started organizing during the 2024 Election and quickly realized that we have a lot of work to do in survivor advocacy and pursuing justice. Fighting for justice is essential for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) for several deeply personal, societal, and systemic reasons.
