Happy Menstrual Hygiene Day! Today is a day that brings together government agencies, non-profits and individuals to promote good menstrual hygiene management (MHM). Read the pictures below to learn how the pandemic is directly affecting MHM. Poor menstrual hygiene limits the overall health and socioeconomic status of menstruators around the world. To celebrate MH Day, PERIOD@MSU will raffle off one Thinx (reusable period underwear). To enter, donate $2 to on Venmo - $2 is enough to cover one person’s period. The giveaway will close on Sunday, May 31st @ 11:59 PM EST.

By completing product donations for the school year, today marks the end of the founding E-Board tenure. Since August 2018, we have donated over 50,000 menstrual products, mobilized efforts to provide free products to students, and facilitated discussions to diminish period stigma. We are grateful to everyone that supported us and look forward to the club’s future. @ Michigan State University

PLEASE SIGN the petition linked in our bio to enable shelters to use emergency allowances, under FEMA, for the purchase of MHPs.

A throwback from a meeting earlier this semester. Although we will not meet today as originally planned, our chapter is continuing local menstrual product donations.
