H.R. 3644
H.R. 922
Known as the Menstrual Equity for All Act, this bill aims to eliminate sales tax on menstrual products nationwide. It also seeks to provide free period products in schools, shelters, and public facilities to ensure access for those in need.
Reintroduced in 2025, this bill would provide federal funding through the Social Services Block Grant program to establish and expand programs to provide low-income menstruating individuals with access to menstruation supplies.
Calling All Loud-mouths: How to Write to Your Legislator
Writing to your state legislator is a powerful way to show for important period legislation, like H.R. 3644 and H.R. 922, which promote period equity. Start by introducing yourself and mentioning you are a constituent in their district. Clearly state that you support these bills because they help make menstrual products more affordable for everyone, especially those facing financial hardships.
Next, explain why these bills matter to you and your community. (Maryland has no state tax on period products, but we can still advocate for those states who do). Emphasize how period equity is a basic issue of fairness and public health. Finally, ask your legislator to support H.R. 3644 and H.R. 922. Encourage them to vote in favor of these bills and to raise awareness about period equity in their sessions.
