In case you were wondering, activism is still happening on this issue:
Our PERIOD Warriors are not slowing down! A crisis like this one hits the marginalized communities the hardest, and
we have shipped over 200,000 pieces of period products for FREE this week to shelters in need!
We can only keep going with YOUR help!

Access to menstrual products is an overlooked, yet essential need! The Senate passed the CARES Act in response to the COVID Crisis, and it includes menstrual products as essential goods, to be included and reimbursed in tax-free Health Savings Account purchases! This is a huge step for the menstrual movement, on our way towards a vision of accessible and affordable period products for all menstruators. We are SO EXCITED to see this included, and thank the Senators and Congressmembers who fought to include it. Let’s amplify the work these amazing PERIOD Warriors are doing and fighting for.

This is a huge victory! We are on our way towards a federal law repealing taxes on menstrual hygiene products.
Stick with us, and we’ll do this together!
