At its core, In Solidarity We Rise is about strengthening and co-constructing an intergenerational, interracial, and interethnic movement for social transformation to address issues such as education equity, justice reform, professional and organizational development, mental health, all forms of gender based violence, and much more. This gathering focuses on centering the leadership of girls, young women, and gender-expansive young people. More than 1,000 people from all 50 states and 14 federally recognized Tribal Nations have attended In Solidarity We Rise in 2017 and 2019. The gathering strives for the goals of having 50 percent of all participants and presenters be under the age of 26.
In Solidarity We Rise is the clearest example of national organizing in practice. It provides us with the opportunity to experience the strength and power of being in community, space for collective healing and care, building relationships, and re-committing to the work ahead together.
