Penny Lane Centers is proud to host the 4th annual Rise Up: A Racial Justice Conference, taking place on Tuesday, September 24th at The California Endowment Center in Los Angeles. This year’s theme, “What Now? Our Values in Action,” couldn’t be more timely. At a moment when our communities are navigating division, injustice, and deep uncertainty, Rise Up 2025 is your chance to gather with others who are ready to transform values into bold, collective action.
For over 50 years, Penny Lane has worked to amplify voices that too often go unheard. The Rise Up Conference continues this legacy by creating a space where community leaders, advocates, educators, service providers, and everyday changemakers can come together. Through inspiring keynotes, powerful breakout sessions, and thought-provoking conversations, we’ll explore the urgent question of our time: What now? And perhaps even more importantly—How will I show up?
This isn’t your average training day. Expect a dynamic, high-energy experience that blends honesty, inspiration, and connection. You’ll leave with practical tools, fresh ideas, and renewed energy to make a difference in your community. Whether you’re focused on racial equity, justice reform, education, or grassroots organizing, Rise Up is designed to strengthen your resolve and expand your impact.
Registration is open now, but spots are limited. Don’t wait—tickets are going fast! Whether you’re a returning attendee or joining us for the first time, this is your chance to be part of something transformative—register today:riseupconf.com (or share with a friend who should be in the room!).
