The Vision of Uprise Theatre is that now will be the time in history in which all peoples are treated by the legal system as full human beings with corresponding full human rights. We maintain the Values of Uprise Theatre by being authentic in the way we relate to ourselves and others; we are unapologetic in our desire of liberation for all people; and we are a community-based organization. Uprises flagship programs are our Arts and Theatre projects. The theatre program uses actors as peer educators; re-teaching legal principles taught to them to the larger community through free live performances. In addition we have created an improv know your rights workshop where we ask community members to respond in real time to hypothetical interactions with law enforcement. Under the umbrella of the Uprise Theatre Legal and Arts program falls the Know Your Our Equal Access to Justice Program provides criminal coaching for indigent people facing criminal charges. We are funded by the San Diego County Bar Foundation and help on average 50 people per year and over the past 5 years we have saved 534 years of prison time. 25000 25000 Uprise and Grind is a new program under Uprise Theatres Art and Theatre Program.
