OUR MISSION STATEMENT

Calling all menstrual activists, advocacy organizations, non-profits, businesses, and public servants in Massachusetts & beyond. Public policy does not adequately address the needs of menstruating people. Massachusetts has an opportunity to change that. Mass NOW’s I AM bill would provide access to free menstrual products, without stigma, to all menstruating individuals in public schools, homeless shelters, and prisons. And we need your help!

​

The Massachusetts Menstrual Equity Coalition is comprised of various stakeholders and is committed to:

​

collecting data (reviewing survey to collect data on the current state of menstrual access among school nurses, shelters, & sheriffs offices) 

​

educating the community (organize consciousness-raisings or 'period talk' open mic in your living room, favorite cafe or neighborhood library. This is important community-building work to strengthen our personal narratives and take menstruation out of the closet!)

​

pursuing advocacy to address the needs of menstruating people in Massachusetts (We’re collecting testimony through the Menstrual Access Story Bank)
