On December 10, Rise joined the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy and other organizations and advocates for a rally and press event to urge expansion of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
Rise will close for a period of rest beginning Dec. 26 and will re-open Jan. 3. Our next parent support group will be Jan. 5.
As Bianca Shaw moves on from her role as Rise Co-Executive Director, we celebrate and honor her enormous impact and many contributions to our organization and the movement for family justice over the past five years.
Here, Rise shares highlights from our 2022 Annual Celebration! Many thanks to all who joined the event and/or donated! See videos and photos from the event.
On October 13, Rise celebrated the completion of the Fall 2022 cohort of our Parent Advocate Training Program. This Rise program provides training for impacted parents working as Parent Advocates in NYC foster and preventive agencies. It prepares Parent Advocates to support parents with achieving faster family reunification and advocating for their families by equipping Parent Advocates with information, tools and resources that they can share with parents.
