Say NO to the tampon tax: periods are not luxuries. Period.

The Issue

Did you know that in most states, having a period is considered a luxury? 

As if tampons weren't already expensive enough, a heavy luxury tax continues to cost women across the United States millions of dollars per year. 

Despite repeated nationwide protests, nothing has changed, and our lawmakers continue to ignore this issue. 

But together, our voice can make a difference. The more signatures on this petition, the more attention it'll draw towards this injustice. 

Even if you're not directly affected by the tax, your mothers, sisters, and friends are. Sign for them and help us raise awareness by sharing this petition with everyone you know. 

Having a period is not a luxury. Period.
