RISE (Ireland)

RISE is a democratic socialist political organisation in Ireland, founded in September 2019 by former members of the Socialist Party, including Paul Murphy TD. While it was established as a separate political group, it was never officially registered as a political party. Instead, in February 2021 it entered People Before Profit party as an internal network. The name is a contrived acronym standing for Revolutionary, Internationalist, Socialist and Environmentalist. It supports a Socialist Green New Deal to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030, the nationalisation and democratic control of the banking system and the abolition of capitalist private property.
