Just a couple of months ago, a mother was kicked out of a museum in New York
for breastfeeding, a perfectly legal act in that state. [1] Mothers
continue to suffer discrimination and humiliation for breastfeeding, even
though doctors recommend breastfeeding for all infants. Clearly we need
Congress to pass the Breastfeeding Promotion Act (H.R. 3799) now--before
more mothers are stigmatized and humiliated for breastfeeding.
But this Act is currently stalled in Congress, and isn't going to move
forward without increased citizen pressure. You can supply that pressure.
CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSPERSON NOW:

(And forward this email to friends now so they can take action too. All of
our voices are needed to get the Breastfeeding Promotion Act moving
forward).
MomsRising members have successfully raised awareness about the need to
protect the rights of breastfeeding mothers in the past and can do it again.
Last year, MomsRising members and other activists changed Delta Airlines'
corporate policies when a mother was kicked off a flight for breastfeeding.
We can harness this same power to push through the Breastfeeding Promotion
Act, but we need your help contacting Congress. Let's support mothers who
are nurturing and caring for the next generation of Americans. Those nursing
babies may not be able to vote, but their mothers can!
Forward this email so your friends and family can contact their
representatives too. It's going to take all of our voices, and then some to
get this legislation moving forward. We need tens of thousands of messages
to go to Congress supporting breastfeeding.
Here's that link again in case you need it:

P.S. THE LOWDOWN ON THE BREASTFEEDING PROMOTION ACT: Representative Carolyn
Maloney's Breastfeeding Promotion Act (H.R. 3799) would amend the 1964 Civil
Rights Act to protect breastfeeding by new mothers by providing tax credits
to employers who provide a place to breastfeed and/or provide breast pumps.
This makes it a lot easier for women who want to give their babies
breastmilk and keep their jobs. As you may know, 82% of American women
become mothers by the time they are forty-four years old, so this issue is
critically important to a large portion of our nation. To read the bill,
visit The Library of Congress Website.
