Rise. That word has special meaning in Lawrence.  A city rising from the ashes after Quantrill’s Raid. Teams watching championship banners rise to the rafters.

And again, Lawrence will rise. A city that takes care of its own. A city that shops local. A city where you are free to be you. A city full of dreamers and doers, culture and business. A city built on education and freedom.

#RiseLawrence is a local movement, encouraging all residents to help Lawrence rise once again. There is hope on the horizon. Show your love for Lawrence. Use #RiseLawrence when you shop locally, to share an act of kindness, to show what your business is doing to adjust, or to just share good news.
