RISE UP RALLY was the official launch of the new ‘RISE UP AGAINST ABUSE’ initiative, which is dedicated to taking action against all forms of abuse through awareness, education, intervention and prevention.
The one-of-a-kind 3-day RALLY featured many courageous abuse survivors, advocates and inspirational presenters, including 2x Grammy Nominee Sarah Kelly and Emmy winning writer and filmmaker Chris Silber.
RISE UP RALLY was honored to present THE SOLIDARITY WALL project, the VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN PHOTO EXHIBITION, the RISE UP ZUMBA AWARENESS PARTY, workshops, trainings, presentations, expert panels and a special concert with Sarah Kelly and Jonas Ekman.
