🚨ADVOCACY OPPORTUNITY

Atlanta residents, please call and email Mayor Andre Dickens urging him to move an ordinance requiring menstrual products to be freely accessible in all city-owned buildings through the budget assessment process. https://t.co/qboSAKS1Xc.

Currently, the ordinance’s budget impacts are being assessed by the city’s Department of Enterprise Asset Management.

Context: City Council Member Liliana Bakhtiari introduced Ordinance 24-O-1041 which would require menstrual products, including pads and tampons, be made available and accessible free of charge in all buildings and facilities owned or operated by the city of Atlanta.

This International Women's Day, we are celebrating all the women who are fighting for menstrual equity in Georgia. THANK YOU for your dedication to supporting menstruators!

[Georgia STOMP @Georgia_STOMP]

YOU DID IT! Together we sent 442 emails to Speaker Jon Burns and Lt. Gov. Burt Jones to let them know that Georgia menstruators oppose the tax on menstrual products. Thank you so much for doing your part to support menstrual equity in Georgia!
