Hey, it's Carly!

I’m at the airport, leaving Orlando after our Student Rise Up training, and I’m still buzzing from the weekend.

More than 300 students, workers, and alumni showed up to learn how to organize their campuses and communities. Not in a theoretical way but in a real, practical, how-do-we-win way. And honestly, it was powerful to witness.

People came in ready to learn, ready to take risks, and ready to turn small campus teams into something much bigger. The kind of movement that scares Trump, billionaires, ICE, and anyone invested in keeping things exactly the way they are.

What we built this weekend matters, but it’s only the start.

Now the question is whether we can carry this momentum forward. Whether we can support these students as they put these skills into action. Whether we can scale this work across campuses and actually win the changes we’re fighting for.
That’s where your support makes a real difference.

Training like this takes resources. We have to cover travel, materials, staff time, and the behind-the-scenes infrastructure that lets young people lead boldly. If we want to keep building toward 2026, we need to invest in this work now.

If you’re able, will you chip in today to help us keep going?
