THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. Nurse-ins are protests - they create bad press
publicity - and portray breastfeeding mothers as zealots to be avoided. NY
has the STRONGEST law in the nation - a nurse-in is NOT the way to educate
about it, enforce it, or get the library to change their position. However,
rallies are fine - they are NOT demonstrations, not hostile, but instead
give information, have speakers, and educate. Rather than do a nurse-in, why
not talk to the library about doing some education of their staff, or doing
a rally there to educate everyone about the law and the importance of
breastfeeding?

Why alienate the library? Why not work with them? Why not use the great law
that NY has to our benefit? By the way, NY's law came into effect because of
a RALLY (NOT a nurse-in) held at the mall where the mother was told to go to
a bathroom - they had speakers, it was very successful, and resulted in
really positive press coverage that helped NY to pass this great law.

Please, people, discourage nurse-ins, and help people educate through
rallies.
