The Wilkes College Dems will be helping run a Period Product Drive on Saturday, January 31, between the hours of 12:00-2:00 PM<\/span>. This mutual aid drive will take place near, but off campus, at 67 Public Square<\/strong> here in Wilkes-Barre. This event is a part of a much larger day of action<\/strong> across Northeast PA, where the NEPA Young Dems will be hosting similar events across the region in locations such as Scranton, Stroudsburg, Milford, Bethlehem, and Honesdale<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All donations must be in new & sealed containers\/boxes
<\/strong><\/p>\n

Donation suggestions include that of: Pads, Tampons, Liners, Period Underwear, Menstrual Cups\/Discs, Pain Medications (Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Midol, Advil), Heating Pad, Hot Pack\/Bottle<\/p>\n

This day of action and mutual aid is in response to disappointing ‘NO’ votes from PA House Republicans on HB 1957<\/strong>, which included several State Representatives from NEPA and Luzerne County. The legislation in this bill is to secure protections of reproductive freedom and privacy for Pennsylvanians within our commonwealth’s constitution<\/span>. We encourage people to read up on the bill themselves, which you can do so here: https:\/\/www.palegis.us\/legislation\/bills\/2025\/hb1957<\/a><\/p>\n

We are encouraging those who are able, and willing, to provide donations at a location nearest to you.
In a time where we see crises in healthcare, affordability, and a list of other issues far too long for this post, it seems community support and mutual aid is the top way to navigate such turbulence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
