RisingUp
"Rising Up! was formed by activists who have also been part of Compassionate Revolution, Earth First! Occupy, Plan Stupid, Radical Think Tank and Reclaim the Power. Rising Up! is linked to Compassionate Revolution which was birthed in the Occupy movement. We seek a better more beautiful world we recognise is both necessary and possible. It is an idea, a term that can be adopted. We share a vision for change which we hope is inclusive. We offer a space that can be used for actions needing collective intent." [1] Their current project is the Extinction Rebellion.
Funding
"Rising Up! is run by volunteers . No one is paid for their work. Some of our expenses have been paid for by funders such as LUSH and we also crowdfund donations." [2]
"We have received money from Lush, the Guerilla Foundation and some organisations and people that fund activists and prefer some confidentiality, and also through crowdfunding". [3]
