Free Menstrual Products Act
Students who cannot afford or access menstrual hygiene products face a documented barrier to educational participation — missing class, falling behind academically, and disengaging from campus life.

A generation of students is entering public life without a working knowledge of how government functions — a structural vulnerability for democratic self-governance.
