Free The Period

💡📢 Sunday Spotlight: Free The Period, an advocacy group who envisions “a future where safe, sustainable menstrual products are as available as toilet paper, and where menstrual health is considered a right, not a privilege.” freetheperiodca.org 📸: @freetheperiodca fb page

Check out @dove_podcast 's latest episode on Menstrual Equity! As a coalition of student organizers & activists, we're honored to have been mentioned 🙌

@mrhealthteacher @Latinas4RJ @AFGBA @AsmGarcia @SFUnified Hi Christopher, thank you for sharing that resource! We will keep you and other folks updated about an implementation toolkit, as we are still in the midst of developing resources. Thanks for your excitement and patience!

Cc: @Latinas4RJ @AFGBA @AsmGarcia @freetheperiodca we are already getting requests about this in @SFUnified so if you have any implementation info please share. Thank you! Very happy about the law just not sure how it will work, especially with funding.

Hey @CADeptEd @CAPublicHealth @CAgovernor: I am looking at this whole toolkit from Oregon about its Menstrual Dignity for Students toolkit, along with clear policy/instructions for reimbursement. Would like something like this for CA’s #AB367 please! content.govdelivery.com/accounts/ORED/…

Getting ready for implementation of #AB367 ✨ @AsmGarcia @GavinNewsom bringing the menstrual equity fight to @ucsc!🩸also Happy #NationalPeriodDay 🎉

The law is the latest step toward “menstrual equity" in the nation’s most populous state, which also eliminated a tax on menstrual products this year. wapo.st/3At6Tz8

@captain_kinj Thank you for your continuous support!! ❤️

YES, YES, YES! Shoutout to our youth activist Audin, a member of YWOC, who helped lead the organizing and policy efforts to get FREE PERIOD PRODUCTS for students in California! 🎉🎉

We want to clarify that community colleges and CSUs will be providing free period products in one central campus location, rather than in restrooms. However, this legislation is just the beginning and we hope to work with schools to expand access!
