The Rising to Run program is an innovative program designed to empower women of color and New American women who have previously run for office and lost.

This comprehensive program includes a pre-training virtual sessions, a three-day intensive in-person training component, and post-training support.

Recognizing that the first campaign often serves as a critical stepping stone for building name recognition and establishing a presence in the community, Rising to Run offers a supportive environment where participants can reflect on their past experiences and transform them into actionable insights.
