about
we are a collective of students striving to destigmatize, celebrate, and improve access to menstrual health through education, service, and advocacy.
​
we accomplish our goals through collaboration and community empowerment.
​
EDUCATION
etymology of 'hormone'
We believe that education is key to enacting change and that we are stronger together.
​
We host workshops created by our team members and collaborate with other student organizations to highlight the complexity of menstrual equity and womxn’s rights in general.​​
Past Topics:
-
Going Green: environmentally sustainable period management in collaboration with HerCampus at UC Davis and recently through the TGIF (The Green Initiative Fund) at UC Davis
-
Legislation around the provision of menstrual hygiene products (in collaboration with IGNITE at UC Davis)
-
Pad and tampon policies in prison, led by one of our co-founders, Ashley
SERVICE
We were founded on the belief that menstrual care is a basic right and necessity.
We partner with local organizations serving communities that need a regular supply of pads, tampons, and/or menstrual cups.
We fundraise, hold product drives, and host fun Packing Parties to put together care packages and deliver requested products to these Distribution Partners.
​
If you are a local (Davis/Yolo County area) organization or clinic interested in becoming a Distribution Partner, please reach out to us at davisperiod@gmail.com!
POLICY
One of our main efforts is our #FreethePeriod Initiative.
Our goal is to secure institutionalized provision of free pads and tampons in UC Davis campus bathrooms because these products are a basic necessity that ought to be provided like toilet paper or soap.
