Rise Up MI! is a left-wing activist group listed as a member organization in the Declaration for American Democracy coalition. 1 Its precise makeup is unclear, and the coalition website includes only a logo image. 1

Possible Identifications

The group does not have a website, non-profit status, or social media accounts, nor have they been mentioned in any news reports. A Facebook page with a similar name, “Rise Up Michigan,” claims to be a community organization in Lansing, Michigan dedicated to creating “safe spaces” for left-wing protestors. The group has only about 400 followers and does not list an address or leadership structure. 2

Another similarly-named group, “Rise Up Initiative” in Flint does have non-profit status, listing its founding date as 2020 and its principal officer as Michael Bolton, but does not provide Guidestar with a mission statement. It is listed as a “special population support” group. 3

Coalition Membership

The left-wing Declaration for American Democracy coalition lists “Rise Up MI!: Stop Big & Dark Money in Elections” as a member. The logo given does not match either the Lansing or the Flint group. 1
