Mentorship. Community. Support. 

When we organized She Will Rise, we wanted to bring together like-minded residents from all over New York City not only to mobilize, but also to socialize; who wanted to fight back but also kick back together from time to time. Through an array of events, from educational to social, we're able to support fellow women in every way possible. Learning or laughing, venting or venti's, we've got it covered. 

Upcoming Events:

  • Walking & Networking - Join She Will Rise for coffee and pastries at Maman, a women-owned bakery, and take a morning stroll through Central Park on April 23.

Past events have included: 

  • A Pours and Policy Night at Juke Bar in the East Village for an evening of drinks, meeting new friends, and learning about local policy.

  • A Government 101 crash course at Ryan's Daughter, where we were joined by New York City Councilwoman Carmen de la Rosa, Community Board Leader Michele Parker and New York City District Leader Kim Moscaritolo.

  • "Reflecting on the State of Women and New York Politics" panel alongside The Wing, where we were joined by New York City Councilwoman Carlina Rivera, State Assemblywoman Nily Rozic, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer and Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney.
