As a feminist menstrual equity organization, we recognize that systemic barriers impact access to menstrual health, and we strive to create programs and workplaces that are inclusive, affirming, and accessible to all.

Menstrual equity is for everyone, and we believe our team should reflect the diversity of the movement we are building.
