Help get H-1782 passed

We only have until the end of July to get this bill passed - your action is critically important!

Here's how you can help -

Call your elected officials in Massachusetts. Not sure who they are? Go to the Mass.gov website and look up your city or town. Your state legislators are listed in the community profile.

When you call, just let the person who answers the phone know that you want your reps to support H-1782, the breastfeeding in public act. The nice person who answers will ask for your name and address in order to authenticate the call.

You can also write letters or send faxes; calls are most strongly recommended, but a letter makes for a nice follow up to that phone call and allows you to expound upon the issue.

The Office of Child Advocacy at Children's Hospital has set up an action alert with an email you can send to your representatives. It takes only a few minutes!

You can also help by spreading the word. The more people we can get to call and write, the better! Our legislators need to know that there is a strong level of support for this bill, and that we want to see it passed!!
