A story about community
about code red

Did you know that the average woman spends nearly seven years of her life menstruating? Despite this, period poverty exists. In the U.S., 25 million women live in poverty, but food stamps don’t cover menstrual products.
Code Red’s mission is to spread awareness on the issues surrounding period poverty. Focusing on the Coachella Valley, we hope to create a positive impact for our community.
