Throughout the month of June, PRC staff showed up with our LGBTQI+ community to support queer people and their futures.
We kicked off the month by participating in the installation of The Pink Triangle to take a visible stance against hate. Our staff also mobilized at Trans March to affirm everyone’s right to exist freely and fabulously. We shared heartwarming connections with community members who reflected on the joy of seeing organizations spanning service sectors come together in support of trans liberation. At the end of the month, we had a blast marching alongside thousands of advocates at San Francisco’s Pride Parade.
We also hosted a “Show Your Pride at Work” day, encouraging PRC staff to dress up and engage in meaningful hands-on activities, including decorating cupcakes using the myriad pride flags as design inspiration. With more than half of our clients identifying as LGBTQI+, and many of PRC’s staff members using their own LGBTQI+ identities to motivate their service to their community, we call upon you —as allies and community members— to join us in uplifting LGBTQI+ community members alike beyond Pride month.
When HIV and AIDS ravaged our city in the 1980s, we came together to provide necessary services like emergency financial aid and legal advocacy. Today, our challenges may look different, but that spirit of togetherness remains the same.
Thank you for joining us in serving our LGBTQI+ community members in the days and years ahead. Together, we stand against hate and stand for taking care of each other in loss, joy, and everything in between.
In community,
Chuan Teng, CEO PRC

Mental health. Substance use. Homelessness. Solutions. Investment.
These words typify our experience as San Franciscans, Californians, as Americans. But how often to we push beyond the buzzwords and have meaningful dialogue about the real issues affecting our communities? When was the last time we heard from an expert about the work on the ground and solutions that are achievable for everyday people?
We’re grateful to Manny’s for providing a platform for this kind of community-based dialogue last month, joining the California Association of Social Rehabilitation Agencies for an important conversation on the changing nature of our state’s behavioral health system. Together, we unpacked recent legislation affecting organizations like PRC and talked through the many reasons to be hopeful in the face of frustration.
“This is an incredibly dynamic moment for Behavioral Health in San Francisco, and it will require the collective effort of our entire community to explore innovative solutions for the systemic changes we aspire to see. While our primary focus is serving our clients, we understand that we cannot do this in isolation. We are committed to serving our clients alongside community members, recognizing that social rehabilitation thrives within the context of community.” – Chuan Teng, PRC Chief Executive Officer
Here are the most important takeaways you need to know:
Manny’s, located in the Mission, is a space where the community comes together to take part in civic and political life. Manny’s is a town hall, a village square, the place where anyone can meet and engage with civic leaders, elected officials, artists, activists, changemakers, and each other.

Named after the signature song, “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real),” of PRC’s patron saint and greatest benefactor, the larger than life “Queen of Disco,” Sylvester, PRC’s Mighty Real pays homage to the star who benefitted from PRC’s services and in turn gifted his future music royalties to PRC. In gratitude, we honor Sylvester through the namesake of our signature fundraising event of the year.

Imagine a California truly equitable for Black communities and individuals. Imagine the Black mother-to-be who can focus on her pregnancy without worrying about any adverse maternal outcomes. Imagine the Black child who has everything they need to excel in school, graduate, and move on to a meaningful career. Imagine the young Black couple with as much opportunity and access to own a home and pass it down to their children.
Enter the Black Leadership Council, an initiative of PRC, which convenes leaders from various fields across our great state to turn that hopefulness of Black prosperity into reality. One way we achieve that reality is through on-the-ground power building at our state’s capitol each Juneteenth. Our “Black in Action” Day of Advocacy brings together leaders from private and public sectors, from all racial backgrounds, urban and rural communities, and all walks of life, to address the systemic inequities preventing millions of Black Californians from the thriving lifestyles they so deserve.
Part of how we make Black prosperity a reality is to amplify the work and voices of leaders who have dedicated their lives to making California a place for all. We’ll take time to celebrate a handful of California’s top leaders at our legislative luncheon. Please join us in recognizing the following changemakers for their invaluable contributions to communities across the state!
