Rise

Rise, Inc. is an American non-governmental civil rights organization founded in November 2014 by Amanda Nguyen. The core mission of Rise is to protect and advance the civil rights of sexual assault survivors through legislative action. The organization focuses on implementing a sexual assault survivors' bill of rights across multiple state legislatures and the U.S. Congress. Rise aims to provide a model for driving democracy, scaling hope, and creating meaningful change for survivors both nationally and globally.

Notably, Amanda Nguyen, the founder and president of Rise, has been instrumental in the organization's achievements. One of the key milestones was the enactment of the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act in October 2016 in the United States. This legislation marked a significant victory for the rights of sexual assault survivors. Rise has had a profound impact by setting a precedent for how grassroots activism can influence policy and protect vulnerable populations, thereby creating a lasting legacy in civil rights advocacy.
