WHO WE ARE
RAISE‑UP is a proposed 501(c)(3) nonprofit grounded in the universal values of human dignity and flourishing that are shared across cultures, ethical traditions, and worldviews.
Our economic foundations align with Stakeholder Theory and with the Business Roundtable’s 2019 statement affirming that corporations should create value for all stakeholders: customers, employees, suppliers, communities, and shareholders.
Our moral foundations align with the Capabilities Approach and the United Nations Human Development Program, which emphasize human freedom, opportunity, choice, and the belief that the ability to achieve well‑being is a primary moral concern.
Our civic foundations draw inspiration from the United States of America Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. We believe the Declaration's promise of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" reflects the goal of human flourishing, while the Constitution provides the framework for democratic self-government. Together, they remind us that citizens have a responsibility to strengthen and renew institutions that no longer serve the common good.
RAISE-UP educates, inspires, and advocates for a people-centered AI future where technology expands human capabilities, supports human flourishing, and finally fulfills the promise of the United States of America.
MISSION
To empower all individuals and communities through education and advocacy to choose the responsible development of artificial intelligence, and a just economic system, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to thrive and flourish.
WHAT WE DO
RAISE‑UP invites individuals, communities, and institutions to unite in solidarity and commit to developing and using AI in ways that allow everyone to flourish, not only those who hold power or profit from technological change. We encourage people to take The Love Enough Pledge, act on its principles, and inspire others to do the same.
Through education, practical tools, and community support, RAISE‑UP empowers people to advocate for an AI future that strengthens human capabilities and ensures that technological progress serves humanity as a whole.
