PROVIDENCE

Mission
Black & Pink Providence is a group of diverse LGBTQ+ community members with a collective mission to fill in the gaps of support for currently and formerly incarcerated LGBTQ+ people and people living with HIV in Rhode Island. We accomplish this by building connections with incarcerated members, community networking, legislative advocacy, and providing referrals to wrap-around re-entry services.

History
The Providence Chapter of Black & Pink formed in 2015. From the start, the chapter has worked towards prison abolition through pen pal matching, mail processing, and providing political education through workshops.

Meetings
First Sunday of the month: Mail processing
Third Thursday of the month: Chapter organizing
