For the first time, The Policy Project, home of The Period Project, is hosting its bi-annual period packing party in Southern Utah to ensure statewide impact and reach. Hundreds of community members will gather to assemble thousands of period product kits for local girls experiencing period poverty. RadioACTive talks with Emily Bell McCormick, founder and president of The Policy Project.

  • Nov. 7: Pack + Party: Fall Service Event, 6:30 p.m. at Utah Tech University, Gardner Student Center Ballroom, St. George. Event by The Policy Project: "Did you know that 84% of teenage girls have missed class, or know someone who has, due to lack of access to period products? Help us reduce these rates! The Policy Project is hosting its semiannual Pack + Party in St. George for the first time to ensure state-wide engagement and impact. So put on your pink and come help us pack THOUSANDS of period kits for Utah students in need. This event is open to all ages—bring your kids, parents, friends, and neighbors! And, of course, there's no party like a PERIOD PARTY—so there will be treats and music while we come together to give back! We also need volunteers to take boxes of assembled period kits from the service project and deliver them to Utah schools by Friday, November 22, so students have access to period products over the Thanksgiving holiday. We encourage all those interested in helping end period poverty to RSVP here: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/thepolicyproject/event/packpartyfall24/"

Russell Roots of the Utah Film Center invites everyone to this month's Black Bold & Brilliant screening.

  • Nov. 6: Luther: Never Too Much, 7:00 p.m. at The City Library-Nancy Tessman Auditorium, 210 E. 400 S., SLC. Event by Utah Film Center's Black Bold & Brilliant Series: "The documentary film chronicles the story of vocal virtuoso Luther Vandross. Using a wealth of rarely seen archives, Luther tells his own story with assistance from his closest friends and musical collaborators, including Jamie Foxx, Mariah Carey, Richard Marx, David Bowie, Patti LaBelle, Dionne Warwick, Roberta Flack and Bette Midler. The film relives the many stunning moments of Luther’s musical career while exploring his unrequited love life, health struggles and a lifelong battle to earn the respect his music deserved."
