Description
ALL RISE is a social justice publication based in Portland, Oregon, developed, written, and curated by currently and formerly imprisoned people. Their mission is to help transform how those with lived experience of imprisonment are perceived and treated by providing a platform for creative expression, political advocacy, and connection- building between imprisoned people and the broader community. Issue One of ALL RISE was published in Winter 2020.
Through their digital platform and the publication of an annual print magazine, ALL RISE hopes to support imprisoned people to keep writing, creating, and raising their voice to an outside world that is ready to listen and take action.
ALL RISE started off as a physical magazine, the result of two years of collaborative work between prisoners and members of Portland’s creative community. ALL RISE began as a program inside the Columbia River Correctional Institution, with the formation of an editorial committee made up of men imprisoned there. The aim of the program was to build a magazine from the ground up, from the mission statement, content, tone of voice, visual design, layout, typeface, color scheme and editorial principles. Every other Thursday for 18 months, the editorial committee met inside Columbia River Correctional Institution, inviting local writers, editors, graphic designers, illustrators and photographers to run workshops that focused on creating all the elements required for a professional publication.
