One Million Rising Gatherings

The map below isn’t a directory—it’s a signal. Each point represents a One Million Rising Resistance Gathering. Many are happening in private homes and community spaces, so this map isn’t searchable and doesn’t show exact locations. It’s not about finding an event—it’s about showing momentum. Every dot marks a group of people rising up together.
