Session description: Rising Majority was initiated following the 2016 U.S. Presidential Elections by Movement 4 Black Lives and a core group of movement organizations who identified the need for us to build a more coordinated, powerful, progressive force on the left. Our multiracial network of organizations serves communities across the United States and covers a wide range of issue areas. In this session, you will learn about Rising Majority’s Vision for 2050, 10-year Strategy, and upcoming Movement Congress. Rising Majority will share more about building and amplifying collective power and inspiring progressive formations to work together towards greater unity, a clearer vision, and a shared strategy.

This site linked below will introduce you to the Rising Majority’s current project, which involves developing a vision of the world we’d like to live in by 2050 and 10 year strategy to make it real.
They believe another world is possible and necessary, and are taking up the political task by working together, side by side, building a movement of movements and centering a vision and strategy that are rooted in political imagination, the needs of our people and the planet, and the belief that we can, will, and must win.
In June 2024, Rising Majority will officially launch the 2050 vision and 10 year strategy.
The 2024 Movement Congress will be a launch point for a new level of unity and joint practice across movement sectors in our ecosystem.
Leaders and organizers will experience a week of relationship building, strategy, culture, and renewed commitments to the fight for the bold alternative.
If you are interested in a Rising Majority membership, want to participate in the Movement Congress, or would like to contribute support to either efforts, please reach out to Rising Majority.
