Establish lactation rooms at HJAIA for breastfeeding mothers


Establish lactation rooms at HJAIA for breastfeeding mothers
The Issue
The world's busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (HJAIA), does not have designated lactation rooms for employees or customers. They ask mothers to feed their children in the restroom or to call in advance to arrange a private room to pump or breastfeed. There is no information or timeline posted on their website when or if lactation rooms will be established.
One of the greatest struggles for breastfeeding mothers is to have our voices heard and accommodations met in order to express milk and feed our children in public places. Women have lobbied and fought for years to establish lactation rooms in their places of employment and public facilities. Only recently have states begun to pass laws that help ensure that mothers have a private place to nurse their children.
This campaign seeks to make the lifestyles of breastfeeding mothers seamless and build public accommodation for lactating mommies. Let's start with HJAIA. www.supporttablefortwo.org
