Wait...what..oh thats right, it is Ithaca.

 Menstrual Equity Center Opens in Downtown Ithaca

On August 10, Downtown Ithaca celebrated the opening of the city’s first ever Menstrual Equity Center. The event was organized by the Downtown Ithaca Alliance and was attended by State Senator Lea Webb. The ceremony highlighted the community’s collective effort to eliminate period poverty, eradicate stigma, and champion the menstrual health rights of all individuals.

"Period poverty is a challenge impacting countless individuals in our community and across the State. It obstructs education, work, and meaningful engagement in everyday activities,” said Senator Lea Webb. “I was proud to join the Downtown Ithaca Alliance at their Ithaca Period Pantry and Menstrual Equity Center Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. This pantry will help to ensure menstrual products are accessible to our community, work to advance inclusive menstrual health education, and eliminate stigmas surrounding menstruation."

So glad to see Senator Lea Webb working on the tough issues plaguing our state right now.
