@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! Join me and comment below how you're supporting the #MenstrualMovement today! 💪🏽 👛 👙 . . . #notaxationwithoutrepresentation #femaletax #periodpower #destigmatize #betterbeauty #getfragranceout #tampontax #ilovenewyork #newyork #newyorkperiodproducts #menstruallaws #getyiurlawsoffmyovaries #discloseingredients #tamponingredientslist https://www.instagram.com/p/B3zIV9Sg7xZ/?igshid=7vur72cydumg

“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.”

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

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?

Seventh Generation introduces charitable co-venture to support organizations working toward period equity.

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

End Period Poverty: Seventh Generation Partners With PERIOD on #NationalPeriodDay

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seventh Generation, a leading household and personal care products company and a pioneer in the eco-friendly products space, is partnering with PERIOD, a non-profit working to end period poverty and period stigma, on the first-ever National Period Day, Saturday, October 19. Youth activists nationwide will rally across all 50 states to raise awareness for the issue of period poverty, demanding clean and healthy period products to be freely accessible in schools, shelters, and prisons, and to call for eliminating the tampon tax.

To reinforce its mission to champion period equity, Seventh Generation has also announced a new charitable co-venture to support organizations, like PERIOD, working toward period equity. Across the brand’s full portfolio of period care products, including pads and tampons, 43 cents per package - representative of the average cost of the tampon tax in the United States - will be donated to organizations doing impactful work to reverse period inequity.¹

“Seventh Generation is committed to championing period equity through our products, our advocacy actions and our partners, and we’re proud to be driving this work forward in partnership with PERIOD,” said Ashley Orgain, Global Director of Advocacy and Sustainability at Seventh Generation. “At Seventh Generation, we believe access to period care products is a fundamental right, not a privilege. It’s our hope the action, support and conversation generated on National Period Day will be an incredible next step towards achieving menstrual equity for all.”

Beyond the tampon tax, there is a need for more programs to supply tampons and pads for populations that don’t have access to period care products. Seventh Generation believes all who menstruate should have access to green and clean period care options, which is why the brand’s tampons are made of 100 percent organic cotton and free of unnecessary fragrances and deodorants.

To bring further attention to the issue of period poverty, Seventh Generation and PERIOD released a PSA, SEE RED, which highlights the insight that if faces were bleeding, someone would do something to help. When blood is hidden, it’s much easier to ignore. Not having tampons and pads means not being able to go to school or work.

“I started this organization when I was 16 years old, and Seventh Generation was the first company to donate period care products for us to distribute to the homeless in Portland,” said Nadya Okamoto, Founder and Executive Director of PERIOD. “Five years later, now as the largest youth-run NGO in women’s health in the world, we’ve come full circle in our partnership and are together ready to make history in the menstrual movement as we fight for freely accessible period products for all and an end to the tampon tax.”

PERIOD’s expansive network of youth-run chapters, in partnership with Seventh Generation, will host rallies in all 50 states on October 19. To find the nearest rally, visit NationalPeriodDay.com. Join the conversation on social by using #NationalPeriodDay and tagging @periodmovement and @seventhgeneration to tell us why you fight to end period poverty.
