@periodmovement and @seventhgeneration have been sharing about #nationalperiodday and today I'm going to call @nygovcuomo to thank him for passing a law that will make menstrual products in New York State disclose their ingredients and ask him to stop taxing these products because we shouldn't be taxed just because we were born female! I'm also going to ask @andrewcuomo to continue pursuing safety and progress in New York State's Personal Care Laws by banning fragrance from menstrual products. Fragrance is a blanket ingredient that can consist of hundreds of chemicals including those linked to cancer, infertility, and birth defects; Fragrance as an ingredient absolutely should not be anywhere near our lady parts!

“This Saturday, October 19th, is the first-ever #NationalPeriodDay. Period. Inc. is hosting rallies in all 50 states to demand menstrual equity and an end to the tampon tax. Find your local rally at NationalPeriodDay.com! IMAGE DESCRIPTION: square with a light gray background and black font says 35 states tax tampons as luxury items. Viagra is tax exempt and is considered a medical necessity. Let’s change that. Right below is a thick red line and the logo for National Period Day October 19.”

[emilys-list]

Today is the first-ever #NationalPeriodDay! In all 50 states & DC today, rallies will be held to bring attention to the #tampontax that disproportionately affects people who menstruate, especially those with lower-incomes.

34 U.S. states still have a sales tax on period products — considering them “non-essential” items. 1 in 4 women struggle to afford period products due to a lack of income. It’s unacceptable. 

When we #ElectWomen, we see changes in this policy. In Nevada, two of our women, state Sens. Joyce Woodhouse and Yvanna Cancela, proposed a ballot measure that eliminated taxes on period products in 2018, and it passed!

If your state has sales tax, then it might have a #TamponTax too. See if your state has one here: http://bit.ly/2MqRBoE

#Repost @ppact (@get_repost) ・・・ Anyone with a uterus knows that periods are no luxury — they're a part of our everyday lives. Yet in 35 US states tampons, pads, and other menstrual products are taxed as luxury items, and 1 in 4 of us struggle to afford period products.

Coming soon.. stupid period meme featuring Jen and Lori Lou. I signed up for their monthly newsletter.. my question... can they sync that up with MY monthly “newsletter” so I don’t keep forgetting to pick up more tampons?

On #NationalPeriodDay, Julián Castro remembers those who have to choose between work and tampons

Tampons being taxed in many states as luxury items has been on the Democrats’ radar for a while now; back in 2016, when he was sitting for interviews with YouTube stars, Barack Obama guessed that it’s because men wrote the laws that items like pads and tampons were subject to state sales tax.

So-called “tampon justice” drew a little closer to reality that same year when Rep. Grace Meng of Queens,…

Protest luxury tax on period products to make them more accessible to those living in poverty.

Tampons and pads are a necessity not a luxury.
