When she became the leader of Uprose, a Latino community-based organization in Brooklyn, she began by listening to what the community wanted: clean air; more green space; no new power plants in their neighborhood.

On August 3, 2017, UPROSE, Brooklyn's oldest Latino-community based organization, held its sixth annual Climate Justice Youth Summit that gathered approximately 750 young people of color from across the country to talk about the intersection of civil and environmental rights.

Makayla Comas, a 20-year-old environmental studies major at SUNY School of Environmental Science and Forestry and intern at UPROSE, helped put together the summit and said that marginalized communities are always hit first and worst by climate change disasters.

As the leader of Uprose, a local environmental justice group founded 50 years ago, she pushed for a waterfront park, made busy streets pedestrian-friendly, helped industrial businesses be more environmentally aware and prepared the neighborhood for another disaster like Hurricane Sandy.

In contrast, the front of the People's March was led by youth representatives of some of the communities hardest hit by climate change and environmental racism: Uprose, a Brooklyn-based group that helps retrofit communities likely to be hard-hit by climate change-related flooding (among its myriad other efforts); delegates of Sunrise Ceremony Native / Indigenous Women; and several organizations local to DC. They carried signs, danced, and yelled chants into megaphones at the top of their lungs.

In some cases, slaves joined to rebels or even uprose against governors. The most renowned of these rebellions was the Zanj Rebellion. The Zanj Revolt took place near the city of Basra, located in southern Iraq over a period of fifteen years (869–883 AD). It grew to involve over 500,000 slaves who were imported from across the Muslim empire and claimed over “tens of thousands of lives in lower Iraq”.

This can be seen in movies, where the women are characterized by submissiveness. This trend is embodied within pornography, which focuses on an Asian women's stereotyped body type and her ability and desire to remain submissive to men. Asian pornography uprose when the United States government banned prostitution. But in other Asian countries, porn was supported, which lead to the accumulation and sexualization of Asian-based porn in the United States.

As part of the renovation plans, the Industry City ownership consortium proposed an expansion plan in October 2017, which would rezone the campus and add of commercial space to Industry City. Organizations such as UPROSE brought up concerns about the expansion because it might possibly accelerate the gentrification of Sunset Park. In March 2019, Industry City postponed its rezoning application because politicians objected that the community had not been given sufficient time to provide input. The project was officially canceled in September 2020 because of opposition from city council member Carlos Menchaca and local community groups.

One late literary example that has been noted is the poem by Claudian (d. 404), the Epithalamium for the wedding of Honorius and Maria, in which Venus rides Triton on her back as her whole procession heads for the wedding. Here Triton is described as follows "The dread monster uprose from the abyss; his billowing hair swept his shoulders; hoofs of cloven horn grown round with bristles sprang from where his fishy tail joined his man's body". Wilhelm Heinrich Roscher observed that this Triton (with cloven hooves) is being described as an ichthyocentaur subtype with a bull's forelegs.

After the death of emperor Lê Hiến Tông in 1504, Lê dynasty began to decline. In 1527, power-usurping courtier Mạc Đăng Dung gained the opportunity to make a coup on Lê dynasty and seized the throne of emperor Lê Cung Hoàng and established Mạc dynasty ruling kingdom of Đại Việt. In 1533, a general and Lê royalist Nguyễn Kim uprose to make revolution against Mạc dynasty in Thanh Hóa and restore the Lê dynasty. Then, he tried to find the royal successor of Lê dynasty who was the son of emperor Lê Chiêu Tông, prince Lê Duy Ninh and he was enthroned with the title Lê Trang Tông.

This desire especially intensified and acquired a newfound urgency with the establishment in 661 of the Umayyad Caliphate capital in nearby Damascus, Syria. As a result of this anti-establishment stance and the later neglect of the Levant under the Sunni Abbasids and Tulunids, the tribe (along with other, especially rural, residents around the Lebanon) was particularly open to alternate theologies espoused by Shia movements that occasionally uprose and threatened the Umayyads and later Caliphates. This affinity to the Shia cause was strengthened following the captivity in nearby Damascus of the remaining family of Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, following the Battle of Karbala.’’Lebanon’’, edited by Barry Rubin, pp. 11-16.’’Lebanon: A History, 600-2011’’, by William Harris, p. iv-xi.
