Using free / libre software is the starting point of security, so RiseupVPN will be a big improvement in security if you're currently using non-free VPN software (like NordVPN, ...)
RiseUp is relatively safe. They're an excellent organization BUT they're based in the US so you might be fucked either way. If you need something to secure your connection on public WiFi or bypass censorship it's a fine option. Just don't use it for anything serious, or really any VPN for that matter. Also please don't use it if you don't need to. RiseUp runs entirely off volunteer work and donations so using up their resources to pirate a movie or something is kind of a dick move. Hope this helped!
