We send disposable and reusable period products directly to individuals and through partner organizations to serve individuals on 7 of the 8 inhabitable islands. We host donation drives to collect period products and participate in distribution fairs and drives to hand out products to those with basic needs insecurities. Our objective is to provide free menstrual products to those in need while also advocating for systemic change in the government, community, and school levels. In the long term, we want to effect changes to address menstrual inequity and ensure people menstruating lead healthy, full lives. Mai Movement Hawaii is a locally grown grassroots organization and 501(c)3 nonprofit founded by Native Hawaiian sisters, Brandy-Lee Yee, Nikki-Ann Yee, and Jamie-Lee Kapana in October 202.We at Mai Movement Hawai'i believe it is our kuleana, or responsibility, to ensure all individuals of menstruation age have access to sanitary products, safe and hygienic places to use them, and the right to manage their bodies without shame or stigma. Mai Movement is not simply about providing products, but it intersects our advocacy and education efforts in every program we run to guarantee systemic change for a radically improved future for girls, women, and people who menstruate. Moreover, being a Native Hawai'ian, women-led organization, Mai Movement is deeply committed to menstrual equity because of our personal experiences with menstruation and our heritage. Menstruation and period poverty is still not widely viewed as a critical issue, especially in comparison to housing or food insecurity, but we are still working to change that. The current economic situation remains bleak for a majority of local households, and has only exacerbated social, racial, gender, and economic inequalities that existed. Moreover, the growing hostility towards reproductive rights makes our work more critical than ever. Not only are we taking down access, economic, and social barriers around menstruation, but we are empowering a generation to advocate for themselves and their community. There has been incredible growth in our statewide distribution. In November-December 2020, we distributed 23,900 disposable period products. In our first full year of distribution in 2021, we sent out 226,204 disposable and reusable period products. The number of products sent out statewide increased by 60% in 2022 with a distribution of 362,800 disposable and reusable period products. And in 2023, we distributed nearly 459,000 disposable and reusable period products and were the only organization focused on distributing period products to address the needs of individuals affected by the Maui wildfires. In the 2023 Hawai'i State Legislature, we introduced bills and resolutions to make period products free and available in state buildings and on all universities, community colleges, and education centers in the University of Hawaii system. Two resolutions (SR23 / SR78) passed.. In our efforts to build community and coalitions around our legislative work, we continue to teach students and community members how to lobby and advocate for the passage of bills to address period poverty through infographics, brochures, Mai Advocacy Toolkit, school visits and Zoom sessions, social media, and more. We have also run a statewide campaign, Malama Your Mai, to raise donations and recognize Period Poverty Awareness week in May since 2021. We hosted our first in-person fundraiser and raised $52,607 while keeping expenses reasonable at $16,036. We were honored to not only host many community members and supporters, but also the Lieutenant Governor and esteemed legislators, such as the House Speaker and Senate President. It shows our commitment to menstrual health, so girls, women and people who menstruate can truly thrive. Lastly, local research is critical to our work because the data doesn't exist and it informs us on how we shape our programs, education, and advocacy. In 2021, we co-authored the first government report on menstruation, Understanding Period Poverty in Hawaii, with the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women. This report was a tipping point in our movement because it was the first report of its kind to frame the issue and helped us shape future legislative and menstrual equity policies. We continue to use the report to further systemic change and have also learned from students, administrators and community members that the report has assisted them in ways like securing grants to fund period products in their own institutions. This year, we partnered with Dr. Jhumka Gupta of George Mason University to contextualize menstruation on University of Hawaii campuses. We hope to use the data to further systemic change, and also publish nationally to uplift the work being done in our state. 0 56384 56384 Brandy-Lee Yee Co-Founder 5 0 0 0 Nikki-Ann Yee Co-Founder and President 40 0 0 0 Leigh Mamuad Request Team and Secretary 10 0 0 0 Jamie-Lee Kapana Operations Director 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 HI Nikki-Ann Yee 1471 Ala Hekili Place Honolulu HI 96819 2028551066 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 3754 62675 125647 99415 291491 0 3754 62675 125647 99415 291491 291491 52607 52607 344098 X 3754 62675 125647 99415 291491 0 3754 62675 125647 99415 291491 291491 0 0 0 0 52607 52607 0 3754 62675 125647 152022 344098 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 In 2023, we held our first in-person fundraiser, Malama Your Ma'i, to raise donations for our programs and recognize Period Poverty Awareness week.
