PHLUSH Chapters

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.

CincyPHLUSH

As of 2021, we have officially welcomed a chapter of PHLUSH in Cincinnati, Ohio: CincyPHLUSH!

In Cincinnati, one public restroom (a Portland Loo) is located at Smale Riverfront Park. CincyPHLUSH is working to increase the number of restrooms available to all, using the principles outlined in PHLUSH's Public Toilet Advocacy Toolkit. Check it out!
