A Fairfax woman is organizing a "nurse-in" at Delta Air Lines ticket counters across the country in response to hearing that a mother was kicked off a flight after she refused to cover up while breast-feeding.
Chelsea Clark, 31, a mother of two, said she is using Web message boards to communicate with mothers around the country to coordinate the nurse-in, which is slated for Tuesday at 10 a.m.
About 30 parents staged a nurse-in at Burlington International Airport on Wednesday, to show solidarity with Emily Gillette, a New Mexico woman who says she was booted from a flight leaving Burlington on Oct. 13. Gillette said she has filed a complaint with the Vermont Human Rights Commission, because Vermont law states a mother may breast-feed anywhere in public.
