Action Toolkits

The Rise Up Project provides high school students with comprehensive action toolkits designed to turn their knowledge of human rights into real-world impact. Each toolkit focuses on a specific issue—such as civil rights, free speech, workers' rights, or immigration—and includes:

• Educational Resources – Clear, engaging explanations of key human rights issues, including historical context, legal protections, and real-life case studies.

• Step-by-Step Advocacy Guides – Practical instructions on writing impactful letters to lawmakers, organizing peaceful protests, creating petitions, and engaging with local government.

• Templates & Materials – Pre-written letter templates, protest sign designs, social media campaign guides, and talking points for discussions with school boards or community leaders.

• Success Stories & Inspiration – Examples of young activists who have successfully influenced policies or created change, demonstrating the power of youth-led advocacy.

• Ethical & Legal Considerations – Information on students’ rights when protesting, speaking out, or organizing events, ensuring safe and effective activism.

These toolkits are designed to empower students with knowledge and confidence, making activism accessible and achievable. By equipping young people with these resources, the Rise Up Project fosters a generation of informed, engaged citizens ready to stand up for justice.
