We, the students, staff and faculty call on the CU Denver administration to create a recurring line item per fiscal year in the university’s budget to provide free menstrual products to CU Denver students, staff and faculty. This will help eliminate a portion of the financial burden our students face and ensure the health, wellness and essential needs of our CU Denver students, staff and faculty are met.

The goal of this petition is to increase the availability of menstrual hygiene products to all menstruating female and transgender students, staff and faculty on our campus and reach 100% availability of free period products in all CU Denver student buildings and bathrooms. This initiative will increase overall student wellness and health, and decrease the amount of time students are forced to miss from class, and the amount of time staff and faculty members miss from work, as a result of their menstrual cycles.
