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.
The organisation runs a weekly podcast called Rupture Radio, and also launched an eco-socialist quarterly publication, Rupture, in July 2020.
