Advocacy
Fighting for the rights of those who are often invisible.
We won’t stop till we’ve changed the game for women, girls, and folx.
Yes, this movement doesn’t just collect and distribute basic necessities like bras, underwear, and menstrual hygiene products …
We are also fierce advocates for their rights.
And you can be, too, by…
Getting politically active at the city, state, or national level to:
- Abolish the tampon tax
- Demand states provide free menstrual products in high schools
- Support women’s rights
Following us on social for important alerts and opportunities to make your voice heard on bills & legislation impacting women, girls, and folx experiencing homelessness.
