Women-Led · Nationally Focused · 501(c)4 Civic Organization
Momentum Rising equips women and civic leaders with the tools, training, and coalitions needed to defend rights, strengthen the republic, and serve communities with purpose and integrity.
Who We Are
Momentum Rising is a women-led 501(c)4 civic organization focused on voter rights, election integrity, and civic leadership — deployed where the need is greatest. We don't just mobilize. We build the infrastructure that movements need to sustain real, lasting change. Experienced organizers. Principled strategy. Community first.
We emerged from years of frontline organizing — including the proven legacy of Welead OC PAC — to meet this moment with something different: a civic home where women lead, where every voice is equipped — not just heard — and where the structures we build outlast any single election cycle.
From election protection to voter rights to coalition building, Momentum Rising goes where the fight is — deploying community-level organizing that national organizations can't replicate.
Our Work
Project Sentinel trains poll watchers, prevents voter intimidation, and defends the integrity of every ballot in 2026 swing states and beyond.
Our "Your Name Is Your Vote" campaign fights the SAVE Act's disproportionate impact on married women — and every voter whose name doesn't match a document.
We connect civic leaders and partner organizations across the country — so no activist in Chicago, Phoenix, or Atlanta is left without a path to participate.
We equip women with the tools, training, and networks to lead — not just participate. From canvassing to coordination, we build leaders at every level.
Why Momentum Rising
Women have traditionally turned out to vote in greater numbers than men. Yet the civic infrastructure to sustain that power — at the community level, between election cycles — has never been more fragile or more contested.
Momentum Rising exists to close that gap. Where national organizations set policy and litigate, we organize. Where others publish reports, we train leaders. Where movements surge and fade, we build the infrastructure that stays.
Consider what happened in Alabama in 2017. Doug Jones's Senate victory — one of the most stunning upsets in modern political history — was delivered almost entirely by Black women who organized across the entire state without party infrastructure, without party resources, and without party support. They did it anyway. They won anyway.
That is the model. That is the proof. That is exactly what Momentum Rising is building — permanently, professionally, and on purpose.
