Description
A push to get rid of Indiana's sales tax on products women use during their period was unsuccessful this legislative session.
One nonprofit who supplies such products to schools and health centers says they plan to be more vocal about the tax while continuing their work.
"It's a health care issue. It's an education issue. It's a dignity issue," said Angie Katinas, one of the co-founders of Project Period, an organization that collects donations and also buys menstrual products, distributing them to health centers, neighborhood programs and schools in Indianapolis and Marion County.
