In 2013, Nancy Kramer got on the TEDxColumbus stage and talked about tampons. Free The Tampons Foundation's mission remains fighting for freely-accessible menstrual products in every restroom outside of the home.
Our team advocates with business owners and in the public policy arena to promote restroom equality—when a budget is set aside to provide free toilet paper, tampons should be included in the same budget. We are dedicated to providing education and resources that empower advocates to create change nationwide. |
