The Cycle Alliance a special three-week series of virtual workshops that will empower teens to speak about issues surrounding menstruation; challenge period shaming; and address period poverty through a social media campaign.  Each week, we will address our goals through education, advocacy, and civic engagement. Teens will learn how to identify and contact their local political leaders; learn how to access trustworthy information to combat period shaming; and learn bystander intervention tools. They will also express their creativity by designing memes, gifs, and other social media ready art.
