About Nation Rises
Nation Rises is a grassroots political activism movement dedicated to empowering ordinary Irish people and giving them a real voice in their country's future.
Our Story
Nation Rises was founded by Mike, an ordinary Irishman who grew tired of watching career politicians ignore the concerns of the people they claim to represent.
Inspired by movements around the world that have challenged the political establishment, Nation Rises aims to bring grassroots activism to Ireland — championing free speech, national sovereignty, strong families, and responsible governance.
We believe that Ireland's best days are ahead of us, but only if we stand up and fight for the values that made this country great. That's why Nation Rises exists: to organise, educate, and inspire a new generation of Irish patriots.
Our Core Values
Sovereignty
Ireland's laws should be made in Ireland, by Irish people, for Irish people.
Free Speech
We defend the right to open debate and the free exchange of ideas.
Family Values
Supporting strong families as the foundation of a prosperous society.
Common Sense
Practical, evidence-based policies — not ideological experiments.
