Free the Period is a student-led campaign and coalition fighting to end period poverty, or the systemic lack of access to menstrual healthcare, by securing access to menstrual products in all California K-12, college, and university institutions.
The impact of menstrual equity:
- 1 in 4 students menstruating in the US miss class due to lack of access to menstrual products
- 64% of students say that society teaches them to be ashamed of their periods
- 1 in 5 US teens struggle to afford menstrual products or have not been able to afford them at all

Sustainability is a key priority at California State University, Northridge, integrated into all aspects of the university from operations and infrastructure to outreach, education and research. We’ve taught thousands of students how to grow their own food, to rethink “waste,” to conserve energy and water, and to take what they learn at CSUN back to their communities.
We rely on the generosity of donors to expand CSUN's sustainability leadership - from academic learning opportunities for students to cutting-edge research and engagement that benefit our campus, state and planet. Please consider giving to the Institute for Sustainability. Your tax-deductible contributions help support our mission and invest in our students, faculty and staff who make a difference both on campus and in the community.
