As we head into the weekend, don't forget to join us in our fight to remove sales tax on secondhand items by signing our petition on Action Network. Currently, many states tax secondhand goods, including thrifted items. That means consumers pay sales tax twice on the same item: once on the initial purchase and again when it’s bought secondhand. Let's make it easier and economically friendlier to shop #secondhand. 🖋 Sign our petition via the link below ♻ Follow ACT (American Circular Textiles) and its members to continue promoting the campaign ↗ Share the petition on social media and tag #EndSecondhandTax

We are honored to be partnering with members through ACT (American Circular Textiles) to launch a nationwide consumer call-to-action to end secondhand tax. Currently, many states impose sales tax on secondhand items, such as clothing, shoes, and accessories, subjecting consumers to double taxation. This policy not only discourages sustainable shopping practices but also hinders the growth of the circular economy. What you can do to help: ♻️ Sign our Change.org petition via https://lnkd.in/encaPiJX 👔 Share the petition on LinkedIn, Instagram, or X and use hashtag #EndSecondhandTax Thank you to Alyssa Hardy at Teen Vogue for breaking the story and helping us raise awareness of this incredible campaign!
