Dozens of people in pink gathered in the Colorado State University Lory Student Center as music blasted and volunteers packaged period products into bags for schools across Northern Colorado.

Period packing parties — try saying that three times fast — are making their way around the state as the Colorado Legislature waits to hear a bill requiring all middle and high schools to provide menstrual products to students.

The bill, called the Free Menstrual Products to Students, passed through the House Education Committee and is awaiting a vote on the House floor. The vote is not scheduled yet.
