Rally+Rise is a grassroots group committed to making New York a progressive haven—all while redefining what it means to be an activist.

And yes, you're def invited to join us.

current obsession: GETTING THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ACT PASSED IN NEW YORK STATE IN 2018.

We rallied. We rose. We turned NY motherf*cking true blue 💙 Our goal was to flip one State Senate seat, so that Democrats could finally take control; instead, we flipped EIGHT seats across the state 🌊 The result? NY can finally live up to its progressive reputation and pass key legislation that will protect us all: The Reproductive Health Act, DREAM Act, GENDA, NY Health Act, Child Victims Act, voter reform, criminal justice reform, and way more. Oh, and it means that NY has its first female legislative leader, via the new Senate Majority Leader @andreastewartcousins2018. We have an incredible roster of newly elected reps heading up to Albany: @biaggi4ny @zellnor4ny @__jessicaramos__ @voterobertjackson @rachelmayforsenate @annakaplanforstatesenate @agounardes @salazarforsenate and so many more. If this election taught us anything, it's that inspiring candidates + good ol' fashioned hard work is what it takes to make change. Knocking on doors works. Textbanking works. Postcard writing works. Yes, even Tinderbanking works. Today we celebrate. (Ok yeah, and get some sleeeeeep.) But our work's not done yet. #rallyandrise Only YOU can make NY true blue 🌊 Get our full NY voter guide at link in bio, but 3 key things: 1. We can't afford to elect a pro-gun, anti-woman, mini-Trump Governor; vote Andrew Cuomo for gov - but on the @workingfamilies party line. (Which is like shaking his hand and giving him the finger at the same time.) 2. In fact, for all Dems who also show up on the Working Families line, vote for them there - their final vote tally will be the same, but it sends them a message that progressive issues like living wage jobs, affordable housing, and criminal justice reform are all important to you and should also be to them. 3. Flip the ballot and vote YES on all 3 ballot proposals. #rallyandrise #vote #election2018 #voterguide #ny #nyc #bluewave Yes we can. Yes we must. Yes we will.
