#WeRiseWhen is a unified effort and working group of lawyers, activists, students, professors, citizens, veterans and concerned community members from across the country who submit terms as to when we will collectively rise as a people from kneeling during the playing of the national anthem.

 

As a unified community, we will not rise because you curse us or our mothers, we will not rise because you threaten us, we will not rise because you humiliate and attempt to intimidate us...

​

We Rise When you meet the initial and basic demands for change in police departments across the country designed to end police brutality and save lives.

​

Most of these demands can be found in some form in the Final Report of President Obama's Task Force for 21st Century Policing.
