Signals Rising is a primarily US-based NGO founded to offer free radio hardware and training to marginalized groups and in-particular communities preparing for, or responding to, crises or disasters. Signals Rising provides education and support to the public around radio and other communication technologies. Their training participants have included Black and Brown social justice activists in urban settings, Indigenous land defenders in rural areas, and queer femmes leading mutual aid projects along the coast.

Both professional and amateur radio communities generally cater to an older, white, male crowd who often create barriers to accessing and practicing skills. Signals Rising prioritize getting the power of communication back into the hands of QT2SBIPOC community members mobilizing on the ground. By fostering a culture of preparedness and mutual aid, we can collectively be resilient to climate disasters and other human-made threats.
