Georgia STOMP Participates in Jewish Federation of Atlanta Panel
Georgia STOMP had the pleasure of speaking at the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta Women’s Philanthropy Project Dignity Program on January 31. Vice Chair Adele Stewart participated in a panel discussion, moderated by Dr. Mimi Zieman, with Ky Lindberg, Executive Director of Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies Coalition of Georgia (a Georgia STOMP member organization), and Elizabeth Goldberg, Chief Development Officer of CHRIS 180.
The panel engaged in a discussion about the importance of access to menstrual products, especially for those who have recently given birth or are experiencing poverty. Adele was able to highlight current advocacy opportunities related to menstrual equity and period poverty.
Adele noted, “It was an honor to have the opportunity to speak to such an engaged group of advocates and community members at the Project Dignity panel. Attendees asked such thought-provoking and empathy-centered questions – it is clear that the Women’s Philanthropy program is a group deeply committed to making the world a better, more compassionate place.”
Project Dignity is an initiative by the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta dedicated to providing period products to those in need, including people who are homeless, low-income, or survivors of domestic abuse.
