4th annual GO WITH THE FLOW Menstrual Product Drive & Benefit

Thursday, OCT 21 7pm-10pm

We're back! Join us October 21st from 7-10pm at OCSC to gather menstrual products for our community.

We'll gather on OCSC's lovely back patio. Remember to mask up in the bar and not to linger inside.

State Sen. Natalie Murdock will join us to talk about her work on SB 698, the End Menstrual Poverty Act.

While other states and whole countries (Kenya was first in 2004!) have eliminated the tax on menstrual products, North Carolina continues to tax these goods as luxuries.

These products are *necessities* that are often difficult to afford for our low-income neighbors. Students even miss school because they can't afford products. Many federal assistance programs such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and WIC (Women, Infants and Children) don’t allow the use of EBT for these products despite their classification as medical devices. The IRS does not classify female products as medical devices, thus blocking women from buying them with pre-tax dollars in both flexible spending accounts and health savings accounts.

We'll be collecting all sorts of menstrual products: Tampons, pads, cups. We'll be serving specialty benefit cocktails and listening to our awesome period-themed playlist.

This year's drive benefits Inter-Faith Council for Social Service UNC Horizons Program, Freedom House Recovery Center, Carolina Cupboard: Community Food Pantry, 10% of proceeds from the bar will go to the purchase of additional items, as well as any cash donations.

Can't make it to the event? Drop your donations off at OCSC all week during open hours from 4pm-2am.

STARTING SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23 AT 4PM-

OCSC WILL REQUIRE PROOF OF VACCINATION FOR ENTRY.

WE WILL ACCEPT YOUR CARD OR PHOTO OF CARD. We will also start serving inside at a limited capacity. Between now and then, please bring your card to show the bartenders- all advance showing of cards would be ever so helpful!

We will be encouraging people ordering/up from their seat to wear masks. We really miss serving friends inside and look forward to doing this again. Both back patios will remain as is for lots of outdoor space. We are excited to make this step forward and will of course stay on top of numbers and trends and close the inside again if we need to do so.

OCSC (not enough ROCK) TOBER.
