Victoria's Secret Nurse-In Demonstration Across The USA - This Saturday!

[AussieDoula]

We all know how important it is to change the face of America's view about public breastfeeding. This Saturday (tomorrow) at 1pm your local time, a nurse-in across the nation will take place in every local Victoria's Secret store. Raise awareness by sending this to everyone you know who cares about breastfeeding!

Earlier this year, the lingerie chain was involved in a similar anti-breastfeeding incident in yet another Victoria's Secret store. At that time, national attention was raised and ultimately, Anthony Hebron, spokesman for the chain's parent, Limited Brands issued the statement that Victoria's Secret has a "long-standing policy to allow nursing in our stores. We are still for and about women." Apparently, as the more recent incidents demonstrate, that policy has not been enacted or enforced in all stores. Rally this Saturday, with lactavists nationwide! Gather at 1:00 p.m. in your time zone, at your nearest Victoria's Secret store, for a nurse-in. Help this company, whose fortunes are largely breast-related, understand that in being "for and about women" their stores must accommodate breastfeeding. The nurse-in activism is also intended to draw attention to the fact that we need for a federal law protecting a nursing mother's right to feed her baby anywhere that she and her baby would otherwise be allowed to be. Join MDC lactivists in discussion of the incident and their planned lactivism."

This story has already sparked interest across the country, and has been picked up by several television stations. Help support our breastfeeding mothers!
