Who We Are
ARISE is mobilizing to address the rise of anti-Asian racism through youth leadership. We will establish a youth-centered online toolbox of strategies to combat discrimination, and build racial solidarity with organizations serving other people of color on action steps to combat racism and xenophobia. To learn more about ARISE, visit our website or our facebook.
The criminalization and detention of our communities has not paused during this crisis. We still see police targeting our communities while those with deportation orders are expected to check in with ICE. PrYSM is working to provide legal resources to our communities who are still being targeted by state violence. To learn more, visit www.prysm.us or our facebook.
We are organizing directly impacted communities in demanding universal access to essential services such as utilities and Internet services. We also organize for better social benefits including income security through increased cash assistance/guaranteed universal income, utility and rent relief, and increased SNAP assistance. Visit our website or facebook to learn more.
As a rapid response network, AMOR has set up infrastructure to field the needs of our community through an already existing 24-hour support hotline, set up a supply donation and distribution system, and create informational documents about COVID-19 in multiple languages.

Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, DARE's office has become a hub to organize donations of food and supplies for DARE members, staff and volunteers are working to protect incarcerated folks from infection and build a fund to legal defense against unjust evictions in these perilous times. To learn more about DARE, contact dare@daretowin.org, or visit @daretowinri on Facebook.
Amid the pandemic, the FANG Collective has been organizing to free people from incarceration and ICE detention while supporting people who are organizing and taking action on the inside. In March, FANG launched the Community Bail Fund to free our people in Rhode Island and Massachusetts while also building infrastructure to provide post-release support.
