Prism

Prism is a non-profit news organization led by BIPOC individuals, dedicated to highlighting stories about people, places, and topics that often go unnoticed by mainstream media. Our mission is to create journalism that empowers Black, Indigenous, and people of color, women, the LGBTQ+ community, and other marginalized groups, allowing them to share their expertise on their own experiences, resilience, and struggles for justice. We cover a variety of important issues and explore how they connect, such as electoral justice, gender equality, workers’ rights, criminal justice reform, racial equality, and immigration. By collaborating with both staff journalists and freelance contributors, we offer a platform for BIPOC reporters and community members to express their narratives authentically. Additionally, our senior fellowship program provides emerging community leaders with opportunities to enhance and share their voices.
