Mass NOW has been fighting for gender equity for 58 years 💜

We’ve been fighting for a lot of the same things over these last 58 years, but we didn’t back down in 1987 or 1995, and we’re not backing down now 💪

🩸 Menstrual Equity Meme Monday 🩸

We are always checking if public bathrooms have menstrual products, and this cafe did! Not only did they provide products, but another activist assured that they were being offered in an inclusive and non-stigmatizing way 🩸💪

Being an activist at Mass NOW often looks how you might expect: protesting, meeting with legislators, and distributing products. But sometimes, being an activist is a little ridiculous! This semester, we've found ourselves in some funny situations, and we hope you enjoy these memes with our bloopers.

🩸 Menstrual Equity Meme Monday 🩸

No amount of anti-trans hate will change our activism.

Being an activist at Mass NOW often looks how you might expect: protesting, meeting with legislators, and distributing products. But sometimes, being an activist is a little ridiculous! This semester, we've found that sometimes we just need to take a moment to laugh at ourselves, because laughter is healing. We hope you enjoy these memes with our bloopers.

🚨 Advocacy Bingo Update! 🚨

We’ve had people from Waltham, Weymouth, Milton, Quincy, and Lowell write their Reps but we need more people to take action!

Take a look at our Advocacy Bingo card which highlights towns that haven’t had constituents contact their Reps yet this session for menstrual equity. Is your town on this bingo card?

Contact your State Representative, and help us move menstrual equity forward ❤️
