Working to remove 🩸 Stigma, Fighting for Menstrual Equity in NJ

[Equality, Period. NJ @periodNJ]

🎉 NJ's FY2027 budget includes $2.9M for Menstrual Products in School — full funding for the 3rd year in a row! Thank you @GovSherrill
and our legislative champions for keeping this commitment. Period poverty is a barrier to learning. NJ is breaking it. #EndPeriodPoverty

📢ADVOCACY ALERT! One final step toward NJ-A1349/S1221 becoming law! https://t.co/RoCuMGQGka…Passage in both chambers & signing by the governor would mean period products in restrooms for the 2024-25 school year. #menstrualequity

In the US, 10 states have passed laws providing free period products in schools and dozens more have legislation pending.
It’s time for New Jersey to step up.
It’s time for Equality, Period.

84% of students in the U.S. have missed class time or know someone who has because they did not have access to menstrual products.

While the ability to access menstrual products primarily affects menstruating students in low income communities, the study found that students across all demographic groups reported a lack of access to menstrual products. https://t.co/TgM4jsYMlW

Menstrual products are a necessity for all individuals who menstruate— just like toilet paper, soap and paper towels. If the latter three are always provided free of charge in bathrooms, why shouldn’t menstrual products be too?
