Flowing for Change is a 9-week period advocacy campaign working to unravel the layers of menstruation – from breaking down the stigma to exploring the depths of period poverty statistics, understanding the intricate phases of the menstrual cycle, delving into the evolution of period products, examining indigenous perspectives and the colonial impact, exploring a variety of social interactions with periods, and culminating with actionable steps for inclusive conversations. This campaign relies on community support to make this happen and will be hosting a variety of events over the coming weeks to raise money, as well as host a few fundrasiers - more information on these to come soon!
I am so thankful to be partnered with two amazing small businesses that provide an eco-friendly solution to period care, giving people products that are both good for them and the earth! Through this partnership, every $5 will purchase enough products for someone's monthly cycle! As a result of my campaigns over the last two years, 23,000 products, 100 pairs of underwear, and 24,000 packages of wipes have been donated to shelters across the city making barrier-free access to menstrual care a reality for thousands of people. This year, donations will made to Evergreen A United Neighbourhood, Dennis Franklin Highschool, and other food banks and community spaces across the city. Visit my website, flowingforchange.ca, to donate, purchase tickets to events, support the fundraisers, and for daily informational content about periods Monday through Friday until March 28, 2024! Thank you, for supporting my passion project and helping me make systemic changes within our city <3
