Go with the Flo- Period.
Our presentation was about Menstrual Equity- Why it matters to everyone with Anika Rychner CAC Senior Director. The CAC's mission is to promote a healthy, caring, and just community for all through resources, advocacy and volunteer effort. 1 in 3 Faribault community members access the CAC for basic needs. 500-600 households visit the food shelf every week. 1 in every 4 people who menstruate in our community cannot afford period products.
The Cost of Inequity-
-missed work or school- $9.6 billion annually
-choosing between basic needs
-shame, isolation and embarrassment
-pink tax- 108% more for razors
On Thursday night there was a lady’s night downtown Faribault which displayed the history of feminine product advertising through the years. #Bloodygoodcause
