What if we could create a California that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few? What if we could have a say in how our state is run, and make sure that our needs and interests are met? What if we could build a more just and fair society, where everyone has a chance to succeed?

That’s the vision of Rise Up California, a new movement of working people from different races and backgrounds who are ready to take action for change. Rise Up California is not a political party or a special interest group. It is a grassroots movement that is driven by the people, for the people.

Rise Up California was founded by community leaders who have been fighting for social justice and positive change for years. They have been involved in campaigns to improve housing conditions, protect immigrant rights, increase wages, fund education and more. They have seen the power of people’s collective action and they know that we can win.

But they also know that winning individual battles is not enough. We need to challenge the whole system that creates inequality and oppression in the first place. We need to build a new California that is truly democratic and equitable. A California where everyone has a voice and a stake in the decisions that affect our lives. A California where everyone has access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.

That’s why Rise Up California has developed a platform that reflects our vision and values. A platform that was created by working people from across the state, based on our lived experiences and aspirations. A platform that demands:

  • Fix the Political System to Establish a Real Democracy
  • Protect Our Rights and Freedoms
  • Establish Community-Driven Public Safety
  • Meet People’s Basic Needs
  • Establish an Economic System that Prioritizes the Common Good
  • Investment in Community, Equity, & the Common Good
