Local 'lactivists' stage 'Nurse-out,' exhibits

BRATTLEBORO -- The rights of breastfeeding women and their children are on the line. Nursing mothers and children are in the spotlight due to an increase in activism around the country. Locally, a "Nurse-out" is planned in conjunction with World Breastfeeding Week (Aug. 1-7) in Brattleboro to coincide with the Gallery Walk Aug. 5.
The "Nurse-in" will begin at 5 p.m., with nursing mothers and their babies gathering in the courtyard of the Hooker-Dunham Building (down the alley off Main Street between Gallery in the Woods and the Trust Company of Vermont) to have their photo taken and sent to the Associated Press for national broadcast.
