We asked people at the Hot Girl Summer Block Party why was it important to bring Hot Girl Summer to communities here in Alabama. Here's what some of them said!

This weekend, we were in Birmingham's Kingston community distributing period products, safer sex kits, diapers, wipes, lunches, and more. Thank you to Margins: Women Helping Black Women for joining us with their backpack drive. Keep an eye out to see where we'll be next!
Our July Packing Party brought volunteers together to assemble free safer sex kits for communities across Alabama and Mississippi. Filled with emergency contraception, condoms, pregnancy tests, and lube, each kit helps expand access to essential sexual health resources and community care.
Conservatives are so concerned about younger people not having kids but never seem to be concerned by how they’re supposed to care for them.
The little ones deserve a summer to remember, too! Join us at the Hot Girl Summer Block Party for our Kids Field Day featuring games, music, bubbles, prizes, and nonstop fun. Bring the family and celebrate a day centered on Black joy, community, and making unforgettable memories together.

In the nonprofit world we oftentimes get so caught up in data that we end up reducing human beings to metrics. The reality is that each data point represents real people with real lives. People that have been forced to the margins by a government and society that wants to see them erased.
✨Networking for Action✨ This community mixer was a great example of one of my favorite quotes, “If you want to go far, go together” Thank you to our Digital Defender @yourpelvically for representing YHF and making new connections to make our community better
