Today, we are angry, outraged, and heartbroken about the fall of Roe v Wade. Now more than ever, we need to be loud in our support of abortion rights and access! 📣No more shame, no more stigma, no more barriers! Join us to rally on Wednesday, June 29th at the Clock Tower in Willow River Park (form Victoria Park), where we can gather and raise our voices together. We will keep fighting for as long as it takes.🧡

Consider supporting this campaign by the other Sustainable Cycles (the Bad@$$ west coast US bicycling and menstrual cycling group).

Quoted from their campaign:
"BEGINNING ON APRIL 1ST, 2017, we will bike thousands of miles, self supported, to the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research conference in Atlanta, Georgia. We will demand space for sustainable transportation on public roads and host cycling workshops in local communities along the way.

Our workshops cover basic menstrual health and bicycle safety for women. We discuss the environmental, economic, and personal health benefits of choosing sustainable modes of transportation and menstrual supplies."

This spring 2017, we will send 6 self-supported...

Some jerks made her daughter cry. So she pointed out that it happens to half of humanity. Period.

Do you love your Diva Cup 90% of the time, but sometimes find it's painful or awkward? You're not alone! Even menstrual cup fans agree it's not always a perfect fit.
