WHY IT MATTERS:
• Menstruators RIGHT HERE IN MEMPHIS miss school and work every month because they don’t have what they need to deal with
their period.
• Period Poverty leads to inequality, and specifically, unequal access to education.
• You can’t buy pads or tampons with food stamps.
• Pads and tampons are taxed as luxury items. What?
