Together We Rise

Together We Rise is a national advocacy and narrative campaign that unites the refugee and immigrant rights movement to push back against anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies. The campaign builds collective action around key moments and lifts up a unified voice for justice and dignity—bringing together community leaders, allies, and advocates across the country.

Our Messaging Pillars: Together We Rise is grounded in the values of shared humanity, where everyone deserves protection, freedom, and justice. Our three core messages are:

  1. 1) Your struggle is my struggle—because I am a human being
  2. 2) Injustice to one is injustice to all
  3. 3) Together, we rise for the dignity and protection of all people

Campaign Timeline: The Together We Rise campaign is organized into four phases that align with key national moments for advocacy and storytelling:

  1. Phase 1 (Spring–Early Summer): May Day, Mother’s Day, Immigrant Heritage Month (June), Father’s Day, and World Refugee Day
  2. Phase 2 (Summer): 4th of July and August Recess
  3. Phase 3 (Fall): Citizenship Week and International Day of Peace
  4. Phase 4 (Winter): International Human Rights Day
