Gags for Rags: A comedy fundraiser to end period poverty
Top talent (Sandra Shamas, Martha Chaves, Aisha Brown, Ali Hassan, Hoodo Hersi, Terry McGurrin, Rebecca Reeds) perform at Revival Bar on College St, June 12th to help raise awareness and funds for those in Ontario who cannot afford the essential products they need to participate fully in society. Proceeds will be used to purchase menstrual products for distribution to a number of agencies in the GTA that serve abused, homeless and other women, girls and people in need.
Every person has the right to attend work and school without interruption and every person has the right to focus on the other challenges they face with dignity and in good health.
This fundraiser is just a stop-gap effort. We will continue to advocate for lasting change - in government funding, and for legislation if necessary, to ensure equality in access to these essentials products.
Tickets: $25
