READY TO RISE IN 2025?
In 2025, we escalate our Risings to be a powerful force against the devastation happening in the world today – the rise of fascism – and how all of this affects women in particular. How do we escalate our RISINGS to be bolder and more impactful, catalyze our imaginations, create art that can lift our spirits and raise the vibration, always centering those who are most oppressed and invisibilized?
Our ever-evolving work is situated at the intersection of ending sexual violence, racism, war, colonialism, imperialism, occupation, and climate injustice. We are grassroots, we are survivors, we are artists, we are activists. We have taken to the stage and the streets in the face of resistance time and again. We have each other. We have people power, our voices, our connections. What we must build now is our solidarity, our most powerful force of all.
WE ARE ONE BILLION RISING. In 2025, let our creative resistance be more OUTRAGEOUS, BOLD, UNITED, FIERCE, RADICAL. Join us in countries across the world from February to April (V-Day through Earth Day). NOW is the time to create your rising.
RISE with us. Stage an artistic rising/event in your city/town/university highlighting the most pressing issues, visit onebillionrising.org and check out the OBR blog, new activist toolkit and video.
