The need for public restrooms and sanitation are not limited to one geographical area. After all, we ALL have to go! Although we were founded in the Pacific Northwest, our partnerships and work extend across the United States and around the world.
PHLUSH is happy to support the efforts of advocates across the country and globe. If you are interested in partnering with us or starting a formal chapter of PHLUSH, please inquire at our Contact page.
