Such an incredible day! SB 2821 - for free period products in all @HIDOE808 schools - is now LAW! Mahalo @GovHawaii, the @HawaiiSenate, and everyone who made today possible!

[Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii]

Today I signed a bill into law that will make period products free in Hawai'i's public schools.

It's simple. No child should be forced to miss class because they can't afford period products and need to stay home. Thanks to all who helped make this bill a reality for our kids.

[Official Ma'i Movement Hawai'i @maimovement]

Mahalo for the follow & for lifting our work @GovJoshGreenMD @GovHawaii!

[Governor Josh Green @GovJoshGreenMD]

Today we’re talking about period poverty and what the @maimovement as well as the state is doing to end this problem in Hawai‘i. 1 in 3 parents are worried about their ability to afford period products.

[PERIOD. @periodmovement]

Policies that promote misinformation about health will increase shame and stigma, and will ultimately strip people of their bodily autonomy. Menstrual health is reproductive health. #period

[HSTA @HSTAvoice]

With #menstrualequity mandated by law in Hawaiʻi public schools, how can you support your school or worksite? HSTA’s Human and Civil Rights Committee developed this resource page and webinar with @maimovement to offer tips and a toolkit: https://t.co/OZKS0MlCJy

[Alliance for Period Supplies @periodsupplies]

@maimovement and other leaders in Hawai'i are seeing excellent outcomes after one year of having free period products in public school bathrooms. We'd love to see this replicated in all 50 states.

Kaua’i County is on its way to being the 1st county & @HIDOE808 complex to make period products widely available in all schools!

Providing period products to be compliant w/ the law is one thing, but ensuring access is convenient & barrier-free is MAJOR. #EndPeriodPoverty

We’re outraged by the Supreme Court’s latest attack on our civil rights. The decision to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion is already harming women, pregnant people, children, and families across the country — particularly those who already face systemic oppression
