Contact Representatives and Senators Now…Breastfeeding Promotion Act of 2011

LATEST INFO ON THE BREASTFEEDING PROMOTION ACT OF 2011
The US Breastfeeding Committee is encouraging supporters to contact their Members of Congress to ask them to expand working mothers’ right to breastfeed.  The Breastfeeding Promotion Act of 2011 includes two provisions that would protect and expand working mothers’ right to breastfeed by
1) amending civil rights law to protect breastfeeding mothers from being fired or discriminated against in the workplace; and
2) extending the existing federal provision to ensure that an additional 13.5 million executive, administrative, and professional employees, including elementary and secondary school teachers, have break time and a private place to pump in the workplace.
