Educate. Advocate. Donate.
East Point/College Park Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. hosts the largest Georgia STOMP Candid Conversation to date!
On Saturday, December 11th, Georgia STOMP was the featured program at an event hosted by East Point/College Park Alumnae Chapter Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
The virtual “All White Party” was the culmination of several months of coordinating between Georgia STOMP and EP/CP Delta chapter leadership. In November, the entire organization of Delta Sigma Theta, Inc. (DST) adopted a Resolution at its National convention Atlanta to support the elimination of sales tax on menstrual products nationwide. The event on the 11th was planned to provide DST members information on the effects of period poverty, the inequity of the tax and the existence of HB810 before the legislature in Georgia.
A Candid Conversation — normally a small intimate event — was hosted for the more than 100 in attendance. Candid Conversations are designed to break the stigma and shame associated with talking about periods equipping advocates to talk about the needs of menstruators in public conversations.
The “donate” portion of the program benefitted two Georgia STOMP member organizations — Atlanta GLOW and The Dignity Pack project. Over $1500 of period related products were donated by DST members to these two organizations who work to meet the needs of menstruators lacking period products.
The day was a complete success and the DST’s are fired up and ready to work for the passage of HB810 in the 2022 legislative session! Are you?
