Rise Up Animation began in 2020, when many communities in the US and around the world struggled with issues of racism and discrimination. A group of animation industry professionals organized to support BIPOC talent to aid diversity in animation. These volunteer efforts grew into a registered non-profit organization with over 500 active members and a community of 33,000 Instagram followers. They focus on providing one-on-one feedback sessions for BIPOC applicants who want to enter the animation industry, but do not have access. The spread of digital events and virtual connections via videoconferencing in recent years has greatly bolstered the reach of these efforts, allowing people from around the world learn more about animation careers without having to travel to major industry centres.
