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

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!

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…
