Welcome!

West Rising: a Growing Resistance is conference on radical organizing in the west. The first annual West Rising conference will be held in Denver, Colorado on October 23-25 at the University of Denver (DU).

West Rising is dedicated to furthering the radical and anti-authoritarian movements in the West by providing a space for dialog, networking, and building new relationships. Many communities in the West are isolated by the distance and environment, making it difficult to build a strong network of radicals and build relationships outside of our towns and cities.

Please join the West Rising Collective in furthering our struggles by coming to West Rising and participating in and facilitating a workshop or presentation. Rather than direct the focus of our struggles, we seek to provide space for struggles to build and strengthen their own movement. please see the Workshops page for more information on workshops.
