We're lucky to be mentioned in @NYMinuteMag's "Badass Women!" Gender equality is something we take seriously and we're so honored! Thank you https://t.co/vtWj1gPdH5

“We go everywhere we can to create dialogue around women’s issues. We do it for the one girl who's just waiting for that one tiny bit of empowerment. To see her eyes glimmer with excitement and hear how we’ve inspired her to stand strong and speak up, that’s everything to us.” 💓

In their quest to help repeal California's #pinktax and launch a business, these activist sisters have made the most of their UCLA experience. https://t.co/KizSgNj1CP

For anyone living in CA, this @politico article is the briefing to bring you up to speed on current #legislation that's proposed and is super informative: @CAgovernment

[Angela Hart @ahartreports]

Dozens of bills introduced Monday hint at major policy fights in the California Legislature this year - major extension of Medi-Cal to the undocumented, redevelopment, expansion of state-subsidized preschool, housing near transit and more:

It’s so rewarding to see how much this @notampontaxca movement has evolved! 💕 @GavinNewsom we hope to work together to make this a reality #AB31 #notaxontampons #tampontax #socialimpact

The tax on feminine hygiene products is sexist, period. Womens health is not a luxury and over 27k people are saying no to the #tampontax. We’re working to end the tax with @notampontaxca in leading CA’s movement! https://t.co/6wARbzUgwl #notaxontampons @ahartreports

[Rachel & Helen Lee @_rachelen]

Already, tampons/pads are not cheap, and the #tampontax is a tax on being a woman, plain and simple. It is time to end this regressive, sexist, and unfair tax once and for all #notaxontampons. @gavinnewsom https://t.co/MLWiy8QC32 via @laurenstrapa

@GavinNewsom Menstrual products are the only gender specific item in our tax code. California was at the forefront of this discussion but we have fallen behind. Next year we've got another shot at bringing gender equity to our tax code. https://t.co/HjysgZ3X1q via @laurenstrapa

Just stopped by at Rite Aid, I was only taxed on one of these items...hint, my uterus is still seen as a luxury in our state's tax code. @GavinNewsom @JerryBrownGov #BloodyTaxing
