Shit. A collision montage of a war scene and a beauty pageant. Damn, we love Rise Up!

Using their manifesto of helping people "Rise Up" from a cycle of poverty and hopelessness, Rise Up, is a cooperative of artists, idealists and social entrepreneurs, who are using art, anti-poverty campaigns, and humanitarian projects, to create positive social changes in the world. Their finest weapon; create thought provoking, and uniquely controversial designs to to help fuel social change. Also, the proceeds from their clothing line help provide free education for children in India, Nicaragua and China. It's this simple, when you buy a Rise Up t shirt, you are directly and positively influencing the life of a poor, struggling child in another part of the world. Now that's empowerment.
