Tell Congress to Prioritize Breastfeeding! The U.S. Breastfeeding Committee launched an individual action tool, "Urge Congress to Support Breastfeeding During the 119th Congress." The 119th congressional session is underway and it's important that legislators hear from constituents about the policy priorities that breastfeeding families most urgently need. Please take a moment to use the easy action tool to call on your senators and representatives to take action for breastfeeding. As part of the Welcome Congress campaign, the USBC also delivered the organizational Welcome Congress sign-on letter to the offices of every Senator and Representative. The Missouri Breastfeeding Coalition signed in support of this letter.
