Georgia Stomp

We are a grassroots volunteer coalition of organizations formed to address the issues of menstrual equity and period poverty in Georgia. First and foremost: we are here to eliminate the 4% state sales tax Georgians are charged on the medically necessary, unavoidable items they need to manage their periods with dignity. It didn’t take long to realize that the road to menstrual equity requires more than eliminating a single tax. Today, we address the numerous barriers to menstrual product access. Students in our state schools, those experiencing situational poverty following a natural disaster, and individuals detained in the wide variety of detention facilities in our state, have encountered these difficulties.
