Join Gxrl Up SLHS in Fighting Period Poverty

Gxrl Up SLHS is a passionate, student-led club based in San Leandro, CA, dedicated to promoting reproductive equity in the Bay Area. Period poverty is a critical issue affecting countless individuals who lack access to essential menstrual products like pads and tampons. This often forces them to menstruate in unsafe, unhygienic, and undignified conditions, disproportionately impacting marginalized communities.

Our mission is to combat this pressing issue by supporting the most vulnerable in Oakland, CA. This July, we will create and distribute 50 menstrual bags to unhoused menstruators, each containing 25 pads, 10 tampons, 80 wet wipes, and a kind note. Our fundraising goal is $450.00, which will enable us to assemble these bags and purchase necessary products.

A modest donation of just $5.00 can provide 50 pads or 25 tampons, making a significant difference in someone's life. Every individual deserves to menstruate with dignity, and together, we can start making a change right here, right now.
