Period Product Drive
FORGE (Feminist Organization Rallying for Gender Equity) received a Bowling Green Community Foundation grant to tackle period poverty on campus and in our community. On top of the grant, they are collecting menstrual products which will be used to make period kits. Kits will be distributed on campus and people will not have to prove need to get a kit. Any remaining kits will be donated to the Cocoon and the Brown Bag Food Project.
If you would like to donate period products, please drop them off in the box outside of Hayes Hall 280 or contact Megan McDonnell (mmcdonn@bgsu.edu) for a pick up. You can also contact Megan if you would like to make a monetary donation or have questions.
Stand Up Against Discrimination – Support the Equality Act
Equality means including all people. America’s civil rights laws should reflect that promise and protect everyone. That’s why it’s critical that Congress pass the Equality Act, which would amend existing federal civil rights laws to provide explicit protection against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in a number of key areas.
