Voices of Change Storytelling

Our Storytelling initiative is aimed at empowering Indigenous communities, promoting inclusive environmental justice, and highlighting the connections between climate change and social injustices.

For Indigenous cultures, storytelling is an innate practice part of their cultural heritage as a potent vehicle for truth dissemination and the perpetuation of communal narratives across generations. Their ancestral connection to the land and their relational knowledge of the non-human beings who dwell in their territories offer unparalleled insights into sustainable stewardship.

MODEL UNITED NATION SIMULATION

Ecocide – United Voices MUN

It is time we recognize the intrinsic rights of nature and reimagine our role as stewards of the planet.

Ecocide refers to the widespread, severe, or long-term damage to the environment caused by human activity, often with knowledge of its harmful consequences.

At United Rising, we’re proud to introduce the Ecocide United Voices MUN, a groundbreaking Model United Nations simulation that moves beyond traditional state-centric perspectives. Through immersive debate and collaboration, we aim to foster innovative solutions that prioritize the long-term health of ecosystems and uphold justice for all.

Food Sovereignty

In an age dominated by industrial agriculture, food sovereignty emerges as a beacon of hope for a more just and sustainable world. Food sovereignty emphasizes the right of communities to define, produce, and control their own food systems in ways that respect local ecosystems, cultural traditions, and human rights.

At United Rising, we stand with food sovereignty advocates to demand bold, systemic change. Together, we can rise to protect not just our food systems, but the communities and ecosystems that sustain us all.
