PrYSM is a community-focused organization based in Providence, RI, dedicated to creating a safe, strong, and healthy Southeast Asian American community free from violence and systemic oppression. Founded in 2000, PrYSM represents generations of strength, struggle, and resilience, aiming to build a space for LGBTQ+ and Southeast Asian American youth in a social justice movement. Their mission is to organize at the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexual orientation by centering youth, female, queer, and people of color leadership in their campaigns and communities.

PrYSM values peace, love, and power, working towards transforming communities by building safe spaces, rooted in compassion, and guided by the experiences of the most oppressed. Offering programs like the Queer Transformative Roots and the Community Defense Project, PrYSM focuses on grassroots power-building and collective organization for social justice.
