FREE MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS

There’s a growing movement of student led initiatives to end “period poverty” –a lack of access to menstrual products –by pushing colleges to offer them for free. Advocates say tampons and pads are essentials that should be provided in bathrooms just like toilet tissue, towels and soap.

With federal funding eliminated, WKAR relies more than ever on community support to sustain essential services that remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan. Your support helps shape what comes next for public media in our region. The best way to support WKAR is by becoming a sustaining member today or by upgrading your current gift.
