The Prism Program

Thank you for sticking around with us for another entire year, Prism People! As we wrap up 2023, how are you feeling going into 2024? You might feel a little bit of all of these options, and that's okay! We'd love to hear the spectrum of your thoughts! Feel free to contact us and/or comment below! We're open 10AM-10PM every day!

Photo ID: On a green background, black text reads: End of Year Check-In. In a light yellow cloud, text reads: How are you feeling about 2024? There is a line underneath ranging from "Not good" to "Meh" to "OK" to "Good" to "Amazing!" with red, orange, yellow, green, and blue hearts, respectively. Bottom text reads: Wherever you are, you aren't alone! Call or text Prism: 414-336-7974. The Prism Program logo is in the bottom right corner. End ID.

We wish we had some better news to share. The Senate has scheduled hearings on SB 479 and SB 480 on Thursday October 12th at 11:30am.

Senate Bill 479 - Relating to: a civil cause of action for a minor injured by a gender transition procedure. 

Senate Bill 480 - Relating to: prohibiting gender transition, medical intervention for individuals under 18 years of age.

Senate Committee on Health - 411 South at 11:30am - SB 479 & SB 480 

The hearing will be happening at the same time as the floor vote on the bills banning transgender athletes and gender affirming care in the Assembly, which starts at 10:00am. 

If you can come and testify, please do so. If you want to submit written testimony please written testimony to [email protected] by 5pm on Wed if possible.

If you are able to come in person please stop by 425 South West (same room as last week) if you need assistance or have questions. This room will also serve as a quiet space away from the hearings.

It's no coincidence that the Senate hearings are scheduled on the same day and time as the Assembly floor vote. They are trying to divide us and wear us down.

Please do what you can to push back against these harmful bills.

And to our trans youth and their families, please know that you are loved and there are a heckuva lot of people fighting for you.

Happy Bisexual Visibility Week, Prism people!!!! Need someone *bi* your side? We're here for you! Do you see what we did there? 😎

Image ID: On a pink, purple, and blue background, text reads "Happy Bi Visibility Week. Need someone BI your side? Call or text 414-336-7974." The Prism Program logo is in the top left corner, and a frog holding a bisexual flag heart sits in the bottom right corner. END ID.
