Silicon Valley Period Equity Project |
January 1st - January 31st
It's hard to believe that in today’s modern world, people who menstruate still find themselves unable to go to school or work because they cannot afford the supplies needed during their period. SNAP and WIC do not cover menstrual products in California, and prisons do not supply these items to incarcerated individuals. Let’s work together to ease this burden.
