Reviving the Islamic Sisterhood for Empowerment (RISE) is a civic and social organization based in North Minneapolis, Minnesota. The group focuses on empowering Muslim women by expanding their participation in civil life, developing leadership skills, and supporting women as they engage in community decision making and social improvement. Through skill-building workshops, trainings, and events led by local and national female scholars, RISE aims to amplify the voices of Muslim women and elevate “sheroes”—women who drive change in their communities. The organization works to counter negative portrayals by providing platforms for women to speak, teach, and share experiences, thereby strengthening networks and collective agency among Muslim women. Established to address narrative gaps and foster empowerment, RISE operates within the broader landscape of civic and social organizations dedicated to gender and community advancement.
