USBC Updates

Join the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act Week of Action

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act Week of Action is happening now! More than 50 organizations, including the USBC, are sponsoring this event to call on Senate leadership to bring the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act to the Senate floor for a vote ASAP. Far too often, pregnant workers are denied the simple accommodations they need to continue working. The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act would change this by ensuring that workers have access to accommodations for pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, including lactation. This legislation has passed the House of Representatives and has the bipartisan support it needs to pass the Senate, but leadership has not scheduled a vote. We need to get this done before the end of the year when the Congressional session ends! Join us by taking action:

• Email your Senators to urge them to take action on the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act
• Call Senator Schumer to ask him to bring the bill to the Senate floor. Calling is easy! Simply dial (202) 224-6542 and leave a message with the front desk or ask to speak to the staffer who works on the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. You can read from the script below or speak from the heart to let Senator Schumer know that this is important:
  • I am calling as a concerned member of the public to urge you to bring the bipartisan Pregnant Workers Fairness Act to the Senate floor for a vote before it's too late. Babies and families are counting on you. 
• Call your Senators to ask them to urge Senator Schumer to bring Pregnant Workers Fairness Act to the Senate floor. Text PWFA to 747464 and MomsRising will connect you to your Senator's office and provide instructions.
• View the PWFA Week of Action Toolkit for talking points, graphics, and sample social media posts. Join the conversation at hashtag #ProtectPregnantWorkers.

New USBC Members: Indigenous Firstfeeding Coalition of Colorado and Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Breastfeeding Coalition

The U.S. Breastfeeding Committee is pleased to welcome two new coalitions to the USBC membership! The Indigenous Firstfeeding Coalition of Colorado was established to improve significantly low lactation rates in Indigenous communities due to generational and historical trauma. The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Breastfeeding Coalition comes to the USBC with a mission of protecting, promoting, and supporting breastfeeding in the Indigenous community through education and advocacy. The USBC warmly welcomes both coalitions to the membership community!

New Racial Equity Training Series

The USBC launched a Racial Equity 101 on-demand webinar series. The series includes three previously-recorded webinars that begin to lay the foundation for an understanding of the principles of racial equity. They are not exhaustive, as the work is ongoing for each of us as individuals and as organizations. You are welcome to view them at your convenience and return to them as you continue reflecting and processing the information. Complete the registration form to access the series. 

Best Wishes to Sarah!

The USBC team would like to express our sincere gratitude for the work and service of Sarah Walz as she steps away from the organization. Sarah has provided valued service to the USBC for the past eight years as a key member of the Staying Abreast: Weekly Wire newsletter team, managing the USBC social media channels, developing the state and territorial breastfeeding reports, supporting the annual conference, and a wide range of communication and advocacy efforts, including the annual report. This is Sarah's last week with the USBC. It's been a pleasure to have her as a teammate, and she will be greatly missed. We wish her all the best in her next endeavor!

Weekly Wire Hiatus & USBC Office Closure

The Weekly Wire will be on hiatus next week while USBC staff is out of the office for Thanksgiving break. The USBC offices will be closed on Thursday, November 24, in observance of the holiday. We look forward to connecting when we return!

Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids Act Passes Out of Committee

The Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids Act (H.R. 8450) advanced out of the House Education and Labor Committee. The bill would reauthorize critical child nutrition programs, including the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), school meals, and summer feeding programs. The Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids Act would authorize and expand the Breastfeeding Peer Counselor Program, authorizing $180M in funding for this program, a $90M increase, to ensure that WIC agencies can support more full-time positions and increase placements outside of clinics. The bill would also provide targeted funding flexibility to ensure that breastfeeding supplies can be purchased with food funds, extend postpartum eligibility for WIC to two years, and extend child eligibility to age six or the beginning of kindergarten. Find additional details about how the Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids Act would support lactation with the "Child Nutrition Reauthorization: WIC Provisions in the Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids Act" fact sheet from the National WIC Association.

New USBC Members: Native Breastfeeding Coalition of Wisconsin and Navajo Breastfeeding Coalition

The U.S. Breastfeeding Committee is pleased to welcome two new coalitions to the USBC membership! The Native Breastfeeding Coalition of Wisconsin works to encourage the traditional practice of breastfeeding to improve the lives of women, babies, and families for generations to come. The coalition serves the vision that Native Communities support breast milk as the first food to nourish the mind, body, and spirit.

The Navajo Breastfeeding Coalition comes to the USBC membership with a mission of improving the health of Navajo families by providing compassionate, unbiased, and accessible care to birthing families through holistic traditional practices that promote healing. The USBC warmly welcomes both coalitions to the membership community!

Call for Stories: Why Is This Work Important to You? 

The USBC has published a new story collector tool asking just two questions about your passion for breastfeeding, human milk, and the policies and practices that protect, promote, and support them. Stories are the fuel that keep us working for real change that families need, and stories help us educate lawmakers about policies that can make a difference. Personal stories allow us to keep a pulse on the needs of today's families, and they serve as a powerful tool to inspire action across all sectors. The easy tool invites you, your network, and the families you serve to tell us about your passion for breastfeeding, be it personally, professionally, or politically (meaning, how can policies help?)! We know that breastfeeding and human milk feeding mean unique things to everyone. We are interested in learning about what fuels you! Please take a moment to share your "why" today!

Policy Brief on Economics of Infant Feeding in U.S.

EconoFact released a policy brief titled "Economics of Infant Feeding in the U.S." The publication examines the full scope of economic tradeoffs families in the U.S. face when deciding how to best ensure the nutritional health of their infant. The brief notes that while the nutritional value of breast milk is high and mothers seem to have internalized the "breast is best" mantra, this recommendation is wildly in conflict with policy support available for mothers (and, families more broadly), and also not aligned with industry drivers for the production and marketing of infant formula. 

Webpage on the Rights of Pregnant, Postpartum, and Breastfeeding Workers

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Delaware released a know your rights webpage titled "Pregnant, Post-Partum and Breastfeeding Workers." The webpage answers common questions workers have about pregnancy accommodations, the right to express milk at work, and harassment related to pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as information about where to seek help.

Updated DOL Webpage on Rights of Nursing Employees

The Department of Labor released an informational webpage on the rights of nursing employees. The webpage highlights protections available under the Break Time for Nursing Mothers law, which protects the right to take breaks at work to express milk, and includes resources and sources of help for employees with questions. The webpage is part of the worker.gov website, a one-stop resource center to help workers understand their rights and access resources at the Department of Labor.

Secretary's Advisory Committee on Infant and Maternal Mortality Meeting in December

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) announced that the next meeting of the Secretary's Advisory Committee on Infant and Maternal Mortality (ACIMM) will be held on Wednesday, December 7, from 11-6 p.m. ET.

The agenda for the meeting is being finalized and will be posted on the ACIMM webpage.

Congressional Briefing on State of Obesity Report

Trust for America's Health is hosting a national webinar titled "State of Obesity 2022: Better Policies for a Healthier America Congressional Briefing" on Wednesday, November 30, at 1:30 p.m. ET. The briefing will explore findings from the latest TFAH report. Speakers will cover the latest data on obesity and its impacts, highlight promising approaches to ensure healthier communities, and offer policy recommendations that can help all Americans lead healthier lives. The State of Obesity report highlights breastfeeding programs' role in addressing obesity, including the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Breastfeeding Peer Counseling Program, the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative, and other programs through the CDC Hospitals Promoting Breastfeeding funding line.

Digital Training on Preventing Racial Bias in Perinatal Care

Diversity Science released an on-demand complimentary course for individuals titled "Dignity in Pregnancy & Childbirth: Preventing Racial Bias in Perinatal Care." The course uses real-life, composite stories to illustrate the way racial bias, however unintended, can undermine perinatal care.
