We must speak. We must speak with all the humility
that is appropriate to our limited vision
but we must speak.

Are you on Facebook? Be sure to visit Rise Up Times Facebook page for even more articles and posts by Rise Up Times and by Coleen Rowley. Events, webinars and Zooms are posted on my personal Facebook page, Sue Ann Martinson (the raised hand with the pen).
Global and local peace and justice for all.
Be engaged in activism
As COVID restrictions still limit participation in many “live” events we are gathering as we can and we are still on the web/social media with webinars, Zooms, and action announcements and emails, writing online comments and signing petitions, in car caravans, holding the courts accountable with online comments, virtual engagement with legislators, and over a virtual or real cup of coffee or a virtual or real neighborhood conversation, everywhere. And in touch by phone. Many of us are on the streets protesting war, racism, inaction on the climate crisis, attacks on the Palestinian people, and demanding police accountability and criminal justice reform and other worthy causes.
For over ten years Rise Up Times has spoken, bringing you articles of substance about issues of substance.
Rise Up Times draws items to post from the many amazing non-mainstream news outlets online that publish work by activists who speak their thoughts and ideas, sometimes through action on the streets, sometimes as academic activists who share their understanding and knowledge, or as journalists who discuss and analyze current significant and sometimes momentous events. All speak with conviction.

“Power is global and politics is local. That must change. We need a new language for understanding new global power formations as well as new international modes of politics to fight them. Social movements must move outside of national boundaries and join with others across the globe to fight the savagery of neoliberal global politics and central to such a task is the work of intellectuals, artists, cultural workers, and others who can fashion new tools and social movements in the fight against the current anti-democratic threats being imposed all over the globe.”
—Henry A. Giroux

“Resistance is no longer an option, it is now a matter of life or death. The lights are going out on democracy across the globe and the time to wake up from this nightmare is now.”
