Happy Juneteenth to all!

As the fight for the liberation and sanctity of black lives continues on, we want to take a moment to celebrate and learn about the history of Juneteenth.

Juneteenth is not the day that chattel enslavement ended. Before January 1, 1863 enslaved folx freed themselves and rose up to fight for their rights and lives. For two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, those in power worked to hide and ignore that fact enslavement was ended. Juneteenth is the day people could no longer pretend that it hadn't. With the passing of the 13th Amendment, chattel enslavement had officially been banned.

Juneteenth offers us time to celebrate and honor the work of abolitionists and enslaved folk that brought about the fracturing of the system. We honor the advocacy of Opal Lee and the celebrations of Juneteenth that existed long before it was recognized by those in power.

As we do so, we want to remain rooted in the reality that the end of chattel enslavement was not done for the good of the people, but as a purposeful measure for retaining power. Enslavement continues in our country today through systems of mass incarceration, convict leasing, and prison labor.

So as we celebrate, honor, and acknowledge the work done by enslaved folx to fight and take their freedom, we ask our community (particularly those whose family did not suffer chattel enslavement) to continue to fight for the liberation of and justice for blacks lives today. Support black owned businesses, support bail funds, educate yourself, and have difficult conversations that can help create change in the systems that continue to oppress us. Change happens when we make it.

🎉 IT IS OFFICIALLY GIVE OUT DAY! 🎉

Today is the day we show up for the spaces that show up for us. Mental health and harm reduction care aren't just "services,” they are life-saving essentials.

At Prism, we do things differently. We aren't just serving the LGBTQIA+ community, our entire staff and intern team are a part of the community. 🦄✊ Having accessible care that is built by us, for us, and with our unique complexities in mind changes everything. Prism means being fully seen for the uniqueness of our lives.

We need your help to raise $10,000 today to provide weekly therapy and group therapy to clients in need. Your dollars go directly toward: 💚 Underwriting clinical and group therapy fees. 🥤 Keeping our group gatherings stocked with comforting snacks and drinks. 🌱 Paying our hard-working staff a livable, values-aligned wage.

Every single dollar protects this essential, safe space.

🕒 The clock is ticking! Can you donate $50 before midnight tonight to help us smash our goal? 👇 Show your Pride in action and donate now! 🔗 Head to https://buff.ly/jFqxFv0 or tap our link in bio!

🚨 TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY! 🚨 Give Out Day officially kicks off, and Prism has a beautiful goal: $10,000 for the direct care of our community across New York State.

Let’s be real for a moment. We know that LGBTQIA+ individuals face disproportionately higher risks of mental health struggles, substance use difficulties, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. 💔 These aren't random, they are the direct impact of navigating a world that doesn't always value our existence.

But we are changing that. A gift of $60 a month helps someone access the exact life-saving, identity-affirming mental health care they deserve.

Meeting our $10,000 goal means: ✨ A full year of weekly therapy for community members in financial need. ✨ The ability to maintain our values and pay our incredible staff the livable wages they are worth.

Prism will always be a space Where You're Celebrated, Not Tolerated. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Can we count on your support to keep this mission thriving?

👉 Beat the crowd and schedule your donation right now so it hits the second the clock strikes midnight! 🔗https://buff.ly/jFqxFv0 (Link in bio!)

The work we do isn't just about therapy; it’s about providing a lifeline. The work we do is crucial to helping our community heal, find safety, and thrive in a world that doesn’t always celebrate them. ✊❤️
