Prism is observing our annual Spring pause from April 20 through April 23. Established in 2022, “Prism On Pause” is an organization-wide break recognizing our labor and the toll reporting, editing, and publishing can collectively take on us.
Prism is a newsroom staffed by people from communities experiencing state violence enacted by our government and state forces. We are witness to our families, loved ones, and colleagues being detained, kidnapped, and deported at home, and being bombed, threatened, and under siege in Lebanon, Iran, and Palestine. We recognize that the safety and wellbeing of our staff starts with small acts that recognize the weight of our work and that honor our full humanity outside of the labor that we produce. Caring for ourselves is necessary for us to create accurate, accountable, and trustworthy journalism and to continue building an organization with integrity and collective power as its core mission.
We invite you to support our journalism as a one-time or recurring donor or join our newsletter to receive exciting updates on our upcoming Reflective Journalism Project training and for reporting that pushes back on state-led propaganda and censorship, and harmful mainstream media narratives.
See you upon our return.
