Mission Statement
RISE UP is an educational charitable organization devoted to preserving voices and opinions on public affairs that contain views often ignored or distorted in the mainstream media. RISE UP supports public speaking as a high art that deserves a wider audience and greater advocacy. We raise up the best progressive public orators. We select, compile, catalogue, and curate recordings of stand-and-deliver public speeches and interviews that contain critical information for tumultuous times.
About This Cause
RISE UP activities include the following: Alternative Radio – Alternative Radio, established in 1986 by David Barsamian, is a weekly one-hour public affairs program offered free to all public, community, college and non-commercial radio stations in the U.S., Canada, and beyond. The opinions expressed on Alternative Radio are not necessarily the views of RISE UP. AR Archive - We curate an audio archive of over 528 speakers covering political, historical, cultural and scientific topics. This project supports our mission directly by providing educators and researchers primary source material in an organized and accessible way. David Barsamian – Author and public speaker.
