Together with our partners we were able to identify and address the need for menstrual products for girls experiencing severe poverty in the pandemic, with the successful allocation of free period products at every Oakland Unified School District food distribution site, and over $1 million allocated to address period poverty in Santa Clara County with the Office of Women’s Policy, FIRST 5, the County Office of Education and other health partners coordinating outreach and distribution. Moreover, this model for addressing period poverty supported advocacy for state bill AB 367 which was signed into law in 2021 requiring all public schools serving students in grades 6 to 12, Community Colleges, and California State Universities to stock restrooms with an adequate supply of free menstrual products.
