Hi Twitter — @Grace4NY here. I'm a DNC Vice Chair, and in the spirit of #WomensHistoryMonth, I'm taking over @TheDemocrats Twitter today to talk about why access to feminine hygiene products is an important economic justice issue. - @Grace4NY

Women deserve equal access to our economy, not punishment for their gender. That's why I've been working with my fellow women to fight for more access to tampons, pads, and the full range of menstrual products since 2015. - @Grace4NY

I've introduced legislation to make these products more affordable — because leveling the playing field and stopping period-shaming give women, especially low-income women, a better chance to succeed in our economy. - @Grace4NY bit.ly/2pzlxSS

What else would give women a better chance to succeed? Electing more women to fight these fights with me — because we need leaders who understand the experiences of those they represent. - @Grace4NY

That's why it's so important that we turn out to vote this year — for our families, for our children, for our own economic opportunity and security. That's also why at the end of #WomensHistoryMonth, I'm asking you to commit to vote. - @Grace4NY

Head to IWillVote.com and commit to vote in 2018 and beyond, because women can't wait for economic fairness any longer. Be on the lookout tomorrow for another takeover from my friend and fellow officer @TeamKCP for #WomensHistoryMonth! #IWillVote - @Grace4NY
