Georgia STOMP 2023 Day at the Capitol
On Tuesday, February 7, Georgia STOMP returned to Atlanta for our first “in person” Day at the Capitol since before the pandemic.
More than 20 Georgia STOMP members and partners showed up for Georgia STOMP Day at the Capitol and were joined by numerous legislators who dropped by to voice their support for either our sales tax elimination work and/or funding in the state budget to address period poverty.
After hearing from legislators, attendees learned the status of this year’s tax bills (SB51 and HB123) and then headed to “the ropes” to talk to Senators and to Representative’s offices. (The House has greatly curtailed the ability to talk to Representative’s at the ropes.)
Georgia STOMP’s Message:
- The need to address period poverty through funding in the state budget AND
- The need to eliminate the discriminatory sales tax on menstrual products.
These are separate but equally important pillars in our work!
