Menstrual Equity Legislation

 Alliance for Period Supplies and PERIOD. work collaboratively to end period poverty in the U.S. and to advocate for the equitable access to period products in public spaces.

Along with our respective allied programs and chapters at the state level, we support a wide array of legislation that would:

• • End the tampon tax –benefitting all people who menstruate; 
• • Provide free period products in all public school restrooms–supporting all students who menstruate;
• • Make period products as freely available as toilet paper in all restrooms of public buildings, which benefits all people who menstruate; 
• • Provide free period products in prisons and jails, which benefits all incarcerated individuals who menstruate;
• • Fund sustainable, community-based period distribution programs, which will benefit the 1 in 4 individuals who menstruate and cannot afford period supplies.

The map below highlights the bills related to period products, menstrual health, equity, access, and/or taxation, currently being considered by state legislatures.  These bills are advancing through state legislatures. The listing of individual bills does not imply endorsement by Period. and/or Alliance for Period Supplies.
