To create a world where everyone feels safe, we need real action to tackle many pervasive problems within our society, institutions, and culture. The onus isn't on women, queer folks, and other marginalized communities to arm themselves. 

Much like the Pink Tax, we also bear the burden of a Safety Tax: the physical, mental, emotional, and financial burden of protecting ourselves. It's time we eliminate it. Flare is a product of this burden and that is why we are asking you to help us create a world where safety products like ours aren't needed. 

Start by calling on the Senate to pass the Violence Against Women Act, a bipartisan bill that passed in the House but is stuck in the Senate. A bill that creates and supports protections, services, and prevention programs for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking, including tribal and LGBTQ+ communities.
