Advocate for legislative changes to make period supplies more accessible and affordable, regardless of income.

The big picture.

Across the country our Allied Programs distribute period supplies directly to individuals in need or through local community partners. We envision a day that they are no longer needed. Our vision is for permanent change that addresses period poverty at its core. Our larger mission is to advocate for change, legislation, and policies that erase menstrual inequity for all. This is our primary focus.
