Our Mission.

Our Mission.

Don't Tax My Flow is a Period Law platform that aims to educate youth about how to advocate for "tampon tax" repeal. The initiative provides young people with resources on how to have productive conversations about the "tampon tax" with adults of all partisan affiliations, contact local and state government officials, and file tax refund claims. By doing so, we aim to expedite the elimination of the discriminatory "tampon tax" once and for all.
