BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — A national "nurse-in" will be held Tuesday to protest the treatment of a passenger who was kicked off a plane for refusing to cover herself while breast-feeding her baby.

Chelsea Clark, 31, of Fairfax, said she is using Web message boards to organize a national protest at Delta counters across the country. What happened to Emily Gillette, 27, of Santa Fe, has prompted an "out-swell of outrage," Clark said.
"This is for all of the nursing mothers in the country who felt that way," Clark said. "This is our opportunity to make a statement."
