We Need You
Join Our Network!
PERIOD believes that period poverty and stigma are some of the most neglected issues affecting the world today. Our chapters are led by fearless and motivated activists who are fighting to eradicate period poverty and stigma in their communities across the United States and globally.

Meet Launch Pad
Formerly known as the Chapter Portal, the new Advocacy Launch Pad provides extensive resources to everyone, with corners of safe password protected areas for Chapter members to work directly with eachother and our team.
Learn about how to get a chapter up and running with step by step instructions and access to templates and important tools. You can learn more about hosting menstrual health education workshops. You can also learn about how to get involved in the politics behind fighting period poverty.
There is a wealth of information and resources that can be found in the Advocacy Center, so click below to start exploring!

Microgrant Program
We recently launched a pilot Microgrant Program to provide youth activists with an opportunity to request funding for their grassroots efforts in the menstrual equity and period poverty space.
The applications for this program are reviewed by PERIOD’s Youth Advisory Council, and the funds are distributed every month after the committee meets. This program will be re-evaluated and potentially grown into a larger program in December 2021.
*You do NOT need to be a PERIOD chapter to apply for funding!
*We cannot provide grants to international organizations & chapters but are working hard to expand this program globally!

The Rag is back!

Whether you want to share your experience with period poverty, make a call to action, or speak to your experience as a young activist, we are the platform for you! And follow us on Medium!
