Hello again, all 208,131 of our fantastic supporters!
Some of you may know that today George Osborne didn’t see the budget as the right opportunity to urge the European Commission to remove VAT from women’s sanitary products.
This oversight only highlights how much this cause needs us to fight!
Let George Osborne know that we are unhappy with his women un-friendly budget by tweeting at him now: http://bit.ly/1CpKn9F
Of course, the budget is not the only opportunity Osborne has to speak up. Our campaign does not end here - it just gets stronger!
If you haven’t already, please also take a moment to write to your MP and ask them to sign EDM 866, calling on Osborne to support the removal of this tax. You can do that here: https://www.writetothem.com/
If, together, we make enough noise, he will have to start paying attention.
It is also important to remember that Osborne is not the only one with the power to make this change. Our next step will be targeting the European Commision, particularly as Ed Miliband has shown his support for our campaign.
In the coming months we will be working with women across Europe to make VAT-free sanitary products a reality for all. Watch this space…….
Together we can make this happen, we just need to keep fighting, with or without the help of Osborne!
