Earlier this year, SAC

of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority,
Inc., Georgia Stop Tax on Men
strual Products (STOMP), and
others to end the tax on men
strual products, expand men
strual equity and eliminate pe
riod poverty in Georgia. While
the primary goal is to support
legislation to end taxation on
feminine hygiene products in
Georgia, SAC also focuses on
education and feminine prod
uct donations for Park Place
Outreach clients.
“Equitable access to
menstrual products is essential
so that women are not barred
from participating in daily
life due to the inability to af
ford menstrual products,’’ said
Elaine Shavers Campbell, pres
ident of SAC. “Our support of
this much-needed legislation
and this important agency is
part of our social action agenda
to impact and elevate our com
