Central Ohio's Period Positive Movement!
We are a small educational and entertainment group focused on the systemic stigma and poverty attached to menstruation.
We help to find and implement solutions to insure people have the support they need to attend school and/or work every day.
Our Mission:
We won't stop until there is menstruation equity for all!
EXTRA! EXTRA!
THE PINK TAX IS NO MORE IN OHIO!
"I am appreciative of the Governor for signing this bill making medically necessary products more equitably accessible to women and girls in our state," Kelly said in a statement. "This is an important step towards ensuring that everyone who has a period is able to lead a healthful life and fully participate in their communities as they choose.”

If you have a business or care for a space make the Period Positive Promise!
"We believe in the power of communities and to be able to respond and support those in need without discrimination. We created the Red Tent Revival for this purpose.
Part of our RTR is encouraging signed promises from local businesses and their guests to maintain a Period Positive Space.
In short it says they will provide access to organic/biodegradable menstruation supplies for free in all of their bathrooms.
We want the government to see that business owners and communities alike are not interested in perpetuating these gender discriminatory practices and that We the People are more than prepared to take the right steps to end period stigma and poverty.
We believe in community and that dignity and safe access to clean and biodegradable menstruation supplies is a right for all.
Let's keep on Red Tent Revival'n Columbus, Ohio!"

More than happy to help, they gathered together local reps. Rep. Kelly, Congresswoman Joyce Beatty and Council member Elizabeth Brown as well as up and coming candidates, Morgan Harper, Joe Motil, Liliana Rivera Baiman. Local poet and educator, Su Flatt and their brand of entertainment to help raise the voices and collective support to end the pink tax and create menstruation equity that includes all. "As mothers a former educator former mental health worker and menstruators working with the youth was an important part in these efforts." they said in a statement. "Working together we can further educate and gather signatures to bring an End to the Pink Tax, break down Period Stigma and end Period Poverty."
