October 1, 2018October 29, 2018

DC’s repeal of the feminine hygiene sales tax is effective today, October 1st, after a bill was passed in 2016 by the Council. The changes only now took effect as this is the first budget cycle that they were included in (for 2019). Read more via this story from WAMU.

DC's repeal of the #TamponTax finally takes effect today after two years of not being funded. Maybe next year the #DiaperTax? https://t.co/M8el1pDrug via @DCist

Georgia STOMP is celebrating a belated welcome of the Dignity Pack Project, a group of public health students at Emory who are distributing period products to those experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. We are so excited to work with you!

Georgia STOMP stands with our coalition members to #endperiodpoverty

Georgians are working every day to #endperiodpoverty across the entire state. Representative Sandra Scott has held product drives to support families of students in District 76, helping to ensure having a period is not a barrier to learning and living in Georgia. Thank you, Rep. Scott, for your leadership!

BIG NEWS! The Menstrual Equity for All Act has just been introduced by Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY). This comprehensive legislation tackles many aspects of menstrual equity.

On this #MenstrualHygieneDay we are thinking of the thousands of Georgians who lack the necessary materials to bleed comfortably and with dignity. Menstrual hygiene is a human rights matter today and every day.

We enjoyed connecting leaders from our coalition members yesterday at the 2021 Georgia STOMP Spring Summit. Thank you for participating in a rich discussion and extending your honest feedback to shape the future of Georgia STOMP. We are looking forward to seeing your faces again in person (hopefully) this fall!
