Pride Foundation

Discrimination & Civil Rights · Rhode Island · Free

Pacific Northwest LGBTQ+ community foundation with national grant programs. Useful for tenants denied housing or evicted because of sexual orientation, gender identity, or HIV status. Keep written records: dates, what was said, who witnessed it. Save texts, emails, voicemails. Documenting incidents in writing the same day they happen makes any later claim much stronger. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ Rhode Island residents and the people supporting them.
