Riseup is a volunteer-run collective providing secure email, VPN and online services; the organization was launched by activists in Seattle in 1999.[1]
Its mission is to fight social control and mass surveillance through distribution of secure tools. It lists its purpose as "... aid[ing] in the creation of a free society, a world with freedom from want and freedom of expression, a world without oppression or hierarchy, where power is shared equally."[2]
As of 2013, they feature 6 million subscribers spread across 14,000 lists.[1] Their projects have included the StopWatching.Us petition against global surveillance disclosures revealed by Edward Snowden.[1]
In January 2015 the Electronic Frontier Foundation criticised the arrests of anarchists in Spain which were reported to have been partially attributed to the 'extreme security measures' of using Riseup.[3][4]

The email service is available through IMAP, POP3, and a web or shell interface. The web interface is a variant of Roundcube.
7.2 million users are subscribed to lists hosted on Riseup's network, as of November 2015.[5]
