We Stood Up offers workers, builders, activists, and organizers the opportunity to share a first-person story from their work and world. From inspirational stories to strategic insights and powerful solutions, this series offers a moment to breathe, receive collective wisdom, and reinforce the community solidarity we all need to keep pushing toward a just and equitable future.
Change doesn’t always arrive in dramatic moments. Sometimes it’s the small wins—the coworker who finally felt heard, the meeting where every voice shaped the outcome, the quiet policy shift because someone refused to stay silent.
bell hooks reminded us, “joy is a form of resistance.” We honor and hold space for those stories here.
