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!

I will again be reintroducing legislation to ax the #tampon tax! Stay tuned for new bill numbers for this session and action steps to advocate for eliminating this ridiculous tax. #mileg@PeriodEquity
NEW: In the last five years, @PeriodEquity has successfully convinced 10 states to stop taxing feminine hygiene products.
Now Michigan is feeling the pressure.

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. 👉 https://t.co/GIbNdaFu27
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!!
Joanne Faycurry spoke with @19thnews about the new class action lawsuit challenging Michigan’s tampon tax, asserting that the state’s sales and use tax on menstrual products is discriminatory. #TamponTax#ClassAction#PinkTax#WITLW@jfaycurry https://t.co/exJjKd7d6U
“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 https://t.co/Pe0Pudci1S
