For 2 years, my students have been pushing for #MenstrualEquity in our @HIDOE808 public schools. Please take 2 minutes to ask Senator Kidani to hear SB966 in the Sen Ed Committee, or else it will die again this session.
💕 & RTs appreciated!

NEW: In the last five years, @PeriodEquity has successfully convinced 10 states to stop taxing feminine hygiene products.
Now Michigan is feeling the pressure.

Statue of Liberty (& Menstrual Equity) to celebrate good news from the US … to add to Kamala Harris!
@PeriodEquity are getting results. Some 20 states & Washington, D.C. have scrapped the tampon tax!
And they are fighting to add more. 👉 bit.ly/33S6fyt

Oh this is good to see @AbigailDJ!! We certainly did make waves! The article at @19thnews is about the work of @PeriodEquity and the lawsuit just filed yesterday to deem them#tampon tax unconstitutional! We’ve come a long way!!
I love this image (and your work at @19thnews) and I bet @jweisswolf does too! Reminds me of when @jimpoco put a tampon on the cover of Newsweek for my piece on the menstruation revolution newsweek.com/2016/04/29/wome…

Dana Nessel, Michigan’s attorney general, reacts to our @19thnews report with support for current legislation on this issue to advance.👇🏽
Glad this came now, and not when I was on my beach vacation.
Since there are already bills that address this pending in the legislature, I hope someone can pull some strings.

“We’ve shifted now to this legal argument not just to bolster the policy argument, but to give it a red underline that it’s not just a matter of good or bad policy … but that what they’re doing is actually illegal,” said @jweisswolf, co-founder of Period Equity.

Time to end the #tampontax.
If we pass my bill, SB124, and SB123 (@MalloryMcMorrow) #MI could avoid having to defend this unfair tax in court. #periodpower 19thnews.org/2020/08/michiga…

We are happy to be co-counsel to @periodequity in this groundbreaking litigation!
Class action lawsuit filed in MI to declare the #tampontax discriminatory, unconstitutional and illegal. This has been many months (years!) in the making for us and our partners, and we are in it to win it #taxfreeperiod @lola @isupportthegirls @istg_detroit @wearehappyperiod

My latest: Michigan’s ‘tampon tax’ has been challenged in a new lawsuit. The litigation is part of a national movement, led by @PeriodEquity, toward exempting menstrual products from states' sales taxes. bit.ly/2Cn2uWw

Thank you @bcrodriguez @eramshaw @19thnews for helping @PeriodEquity spread the word ... the #tampontax is not only unfair, it is unconstitutional and illegal. Period. – at Jersey City, NJ

TX State Representative @DonnaHowardTX has been committed to ending the tampon tax in TX. In the last state legislative sessions, this bill has died in committee. We need all the support we can get to ax this tax in the next #txlege in 2021. #tampontax #axthetampontax
