Let Us Rise Overview
Positive, broad-based change is possible!
Let Us Rise is coordinating a grassroots campaign across Colorado to envision the kind of communities, Colorado, US and world we want to live in. Over thirty groups have already hosted "Visioning Circles" and published their visions for change here. Once we reach a critical mass, we will engage participants in a democratic process to create a shared vision for Colorado, and an action plan to implement it.
We are independent of any political party. We believe our true power lies in transcending the ways in which we are divided, in finding our shared vision and shared humanity. All are welcome here.
Gather your friends, family, neighbors together in a Visioning Circle of your own! Or do one with your organization, congregation, or business. We will provide facilitators if you wish. Click here to get started.
Imagine the power of creating a shared vision for change. Imagine what we can do if each one of us takes responsibility for the power we have to create our world anew.
We do not know if this kind of campaign has ever been tried before in the U.S. We do know that it worked powerfully in South Africa. In fact, it catalyzed the movement for liberation there (more).
This process started in Colorado, and we are focused on creating a shared vision for Colorado. But if you are from another state and want to participate, you are welcome to do so!
