🩸 Welcome to Menstrual Equity Meme Monday! 🩸

Let's lighten the mood of our activism with some homemade Mass NOW memes.

Being an activist at Mass NOW often looks how you might expect: protesting, meeting with legislators, and distributing products. But sometimes, being an activist is a little ridiculous! This semester, we've found ourselves in some funny situations, and we hope you enjoy these memes with our bloopers.

🩸 SPOTTED! Period art in the State House 🩸

Check out Representative Roy and the period art he has hanging in his office!

Rep. Roy is one of the biggest champions of menstrual equity in the State House and we love to see that his fabulous taste in art includes period art 🩸

In addition to Rep. Roy’s office, Pip Kjellgren’s artwork has also been featured in multiple of Mass NOW’s Period Art Pop Up shows. Pip Kjellgren is a Swedish American visual artist. Pip takes endless inspiration from nature and cosmos, travel, spirituality, psychology, and esotericism.
