Dearest Activists,
.
Together individuals and groups from over 85 countries have come together as a global solidarity campaign: #RiseForAndWithWomenOfAfghanistan. On Saturday, 25 September, we will take to the streets in a global day of action during which activists, women’s organizations, human rights groups, and high profile individuals will mount in person events in cities, towns and areas across the globe. Worldwide events are being led by local Afghan activists and informed by activists on the ground in Afghanistan.
.
•In New York City, a RISE FOR AND WITH WOMEN OF AFGHANISTAN rally and action will take place at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, in sight and sound of the United Nations as the General Assembly meets. (onebillionrising.org/risenewyork)
•In Los Angeles, Afghan youth and activists will meet on the Sunset Strip and march to West Hollywood Park (onebillionrising.org/riseLA)
.
We cannot underestimate the power of our solidarity. Bearing witness to the violence and fear the Taliban is unleashing on Afghanistan will send a powerful message to the Afghan people – and women specifically – that they are not alone. Just as importantly, it will remind the Taliban that we see what they are doing and will not back down until all Afghan people live with the full human rights they deserve.

We Rose online on 1 September, now we will RISE in the streets 25 September.

We take our lead from our Afghan sisters – activists who have amplified the on-the-ground realities and needs for over twenty years, working tirelessly and creatively to support women and girls and their families amidst an endless, imperialist war. Women of the world and our allies stand with the women – and all vulnerable groups – of Afghanistan against imperialism, militarism, fundamentalism, and fascism. None of us are free until the women of Afghanistan are free. We stand with the women of Afghanistan who believe women have the right to education, to travel, to freedom of movement, to jobs, to security, just having freedom to be able to breathe and be. We cannot underestimate the power of our solidarity at this moment.
.
Over these last weeks, a coalition of groups and activists have spent much time talking with our sisters on the ground in Afghanistan. In the spirit of our work and always taking the lead from women on the ground, we asked them what they most needed and they told us:
•They need our solidarity.
•They need our support.
•They need our eyes on Afghanistan.
•They need us not to recognize the Taliban.
•They need massive humanitarian aid.
•They need our sisterhood.
•They need us to Roar, Rage, and Rise.
.
In consultation with many of them, we created a list of demands and a call to action. People and groups from all over the world have signed on in support with more signing on and planning actions on 25 September. JOIN US, TAKE ACTION & RISE In the Streets on Saturday, 25 September – #RiseRoarAndRage for the women in Afghanistan. Stage a global solidarity action in your city, town, school. everywhere. RISE in the streets, stage creative political protests and artistic risings (safely). Invite everyone, reach out to activists, students, artists, social justice groups, and more. Wear masks.
