Justice Necessary

BREAKING NEWS: It's that time of the month ✨again!✨ We are at this year's Colorado Press Association Annual Convention, having a fantastic time connecting with local journalists and services. This year's theme is "Stronger Newsrooms for Stronger Communities". We are happy to be here and excited to see what we can do together to raise awareness about hygiene poverty, period poverty, and diaper need across the state. #DenverColorado #JusticeNecessary #SockItToPeriodPoverty #JusticeInEveryStep #PeriodEquality #EducationMatters #StudentsMatter #PeriodPoverty #HygienePoverty #ColoradoEducation #ColoradoVolunteers #Colorado #Journalism 

57,009 units of hygiene products distributed to the Aurora community by Justice Necessary! 🩷 On August 2nd, we joined the Salvation Army Aurora Corps for their annual Block Party event to provide students and families with necessary hygiene products for everyday use. We had a blast talking to visitors about Justice Necessary's important work! A few more stats from this incredible event: - 3,000 + community members in attendance - 2,500 + meals provided Thank you for your partnership, Salvation Army! #SalvationArmy #AuroraColorado #JusticeNecessary #SockItToPeriodPoverty #JusticeInEveryStep #PeriodEquality #EducationMatters #StudentsMatter #PeriodPoverty #HygienePoverty #ColoradoEducation #ColoradoVolunteers #Co

As we celebrate Colorado Statehood, here's a clean fact 🪥:  In 1996, Dr. David Alberts from Boulder patented the first portable toothbrush sanitizer, using UV light to zap bacteria and boost oral hygiene. Just one of Colorado's many contributions to a healthier world! #ColoradoProud #Statehood #ColoradoStrong #JusticeNecessary #DenverHistory #NationalColoradoDay #Colorado #ColoradoStatehood #CelebrateColorado #CentennialState #HappyBirthdayColorado #HygieneInnovation #HygienePoverty

Happy Birthday Colorado! On this anniversary, Justice Necessary is celebrating all things Colorado… Did you know Tampax was started in Denver? Dr. Earle Haas set out to create something better than the "rags" his wife and other women had to endure - Gertrude Tendrich bought the patent and trademark for $32,000 on October 16, 1933—and the rest is history! Justice Necessary, a Colorado nonprofit, has made sure our neighbors never have to rely on rags. We've provided 4,500,000+ million pads and tampons! #PeriodPoverty #ColoradoStrong #JusticeNecessary #DenverHistory #Tampax #NationalColoradoDay #Colorado #ColoradoStatehood #CelebrateColorado #CentennialState #HappyBirthdayColorado

On July 26th we and our amazing partners gathered to celebrate the passing of bill HB24-1164, “Free Menstrual Products to Students”! This monumental achievement will ensure Colorado middle and high school students have access to period products in school restrooms. Many thanks to our bill sponsors: Brianna Titone Jenny Willford Janet Buckner Faith Winter #HB241164 #SockItToPeriodPoverty #Colorado #JusticeNecessary #Menstruation

Check out where we've been! This past weekend, we joined Rotary Club of Five Points RiNo in Denver for their community pub crawl event at Taco Uprising. We had a blast talking to visitors about Justice Necessary's important work. Thank you for your partnership, Rotary Club!  #coloradononprofit #volunteer #rotarycluboffivepoints #denverevents #tacouprising #justicenecessary #giveback #support #cause #philanthropy #makeadifference

☝🏽 THIS is why we're fighting to make menstrual products freely available in schools. We surveyed 220 teens from urban, suburban, and rural environments. The findings are startling and underscore the urgency for actionable measures in Colorado. 😔 #SockItToPeriodPoverty #periodpovertystudy #colorado #justicenecessary #menstruation #PinkTax

We believe we can make our neighbors’ lives easier and that being able to care for our bodies and our families is vital to human dignity. ❤️ #SockItToPeriodPoverty #HygienePoverty #Colorado #JusticeNecessary

Even just one person experiencing hygiene poverty is TOO much. Please find out how to help end this: https://zurl.co/Hve7 #SockItToPeriodPoverty #periodpovertystudy #colorado #justicenecessary #menstruation

Here's a glimpse of our work with Western State! We partner with food pantries, food banks, schools, and school districts across Colorado.  This helps ensure that our neighbors throughout the state have access to things like one-month period bags, laundry detergent, razors, diapers, and soap. 💪🏽 Whether in the metro area, northern Colorado, the Western Slope, the Eastern Plains, or Southern Colorado, access to hygiene just is necessary! #SockItToPeriodPoverty #periodpovertystudy #colorado #justicenecessary #menstruation #PinkTax
