To all breastfeeding activists/lactivists/concerned citizens!

Rep. Carolyn Maloney is going to reintroduce the Breastfeeding Promotion Act to Congress in June.  With a change in leadership in both Houses and a White House that is attuned to work/life balance issues, this year we need to push hard for passage!  The Breastfeeding Promotion Act will:

   * Add breastfeeding mothers in the workplace as a protected class under the Civil Rights Act of
      1964
   * Provide incentives for employers to have private lactation areas for workers
   * Create a performance standard for breastpump equipment
   * Create tax deductions for pumping equipment
