New PSA: Breastfeeding in Public is Legal in 50 States


​In collaboration with the U.S. Breastfeeding Committee, REMEDY, a digital media agency, launched a public service announcement (PSA) to normalize breastfeeding and encourage the public to create a welcoming environment for mothers and lactating people. The 27-second video invites the audience to take action in support of lactation-friendly policies and legislation and reflect on how to support breastfeeding mothers in public spaces with the tagline, "Breastfeeding in public is legal in 50 states. Let's make it feel that way."
Learn more about existing legislation that supports breastfeeding, understand legal protections for pregnant and lactating employees, and take action with the USBC on legislative and policy opportunities that can help create a landscape of breastfeeding support nationwide.
