About
Ruckus comes when and where we’re called. We train humble and fierce leaders and equip our people with the tools they need to win.
Ruckus works across frontlines and in the communities most impacted by state violence and ecological devastation desde la frontera to Indian Country. We are a broad network of trainers from many communities, with many skills, united in our commitment to building a liberated future through training and collaborating with grassroots organizers.
