Virtual Nurse In On October 10th

October 04, 2007

Two superhero moms have banded together to form The League of Maternal Justice. They've donned their masks, capes and super-powered breast pumps, and are tackling their first mission...they're taking on Facebook for banning photos of moms breastfeeding. And they want you to join in. They're organizing a virtual nurse in on October 10th, at 10:00 a.m. Here's what they have to say:

We're asking women around the world to speak out - and squirt out! - against the banning of breastfeeding pictures on Facebook, as well as against the constant onslaught of negative attention toward breastfeeding mothers in public spaces and in the media...

On October 10 at 10am, women around the US and Canada and - we hope - the world will breastfeed for justice. We'll nurse our babies or bottle-feed our babies or reminisce about doing either of those things and we'll post pictures and video, all together, and let the world know that there is no shame, only power, in caring for our children.

Spread the word by placing a button on your blog, and then set up your web cam to live broadcast on your blog on October 10 at 10am (your time). If you don't have a web cam, but have a video recorder, post some breastfeeding video! Load it up on YouTube and tag it "The Great Virtual Breast Fest" on October 10!

You can also submit photos to the group's site by Friday, and get included in a photo montage they're putting together. Head on over to their site for more details.
