Big thanks to fellow @uoregon duck @missORusa for taking the time to educate me about her incredible work ensuring free access to menstrual products for folks in Oregon and all over the nation with @operationperiod #TheFutureIsMenstrualFreedom
The link of struggles is important because it offers deeper context and interrogation of the systems at large that create huge impacts on the lives of every menstruator. Menstrual Freedom is a desire to fight against all systems of oppression that limit all menstruators.

For her Menstrual Freedom is an action call! It is taking the niche struggle of menstrual justice work and uniting it with other struggles - the fight for abolition, the fight for reproductive justice, and more.

She founded Code Red Co. (@coderedco), a cooperative fighting for menstrual freedom and centering transparency around period wellness and over the last 7 years her organizing work has centered around abolition, reproductive justice, and menstrual freedom.

We are so excited to formally introduce our leadership and staff to you — starting with board member @Ileri_Jaiy14 🦋
Ileri Jaiyeoba (she.they) is an interdisciplinary storyteller and organizer who defines herself as a visual designer, theorist, and writer.
And yes, one of the first policies we implemented was paid menstrual leave. Because the future we want can start now.
Since founding the organization in February of 2015, Manju has volunteered her time in various positions for the org. With her as our full-time executive director now, there are big plans for our future and the work we want to accomplish!
The future is menstrual freedom 👏🏾

#Menstruation is often discussed in hushed & discreet voices, as if it’s something to be ashamed of. More than half of female and male respondents in a study even agreed that there’s a stigma around menstruation. Learn more at bit.ly/2TQByXR #stopthestigma #periodpoverty
