Protests are planned at a Denny's restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina and in other locations after a mother was asked to cover up or move because she was nursing her one-year old son. North Carolina law protects mothers' rights to nurse in public.
The restaurant management called the police when the mother refused to comply, reportedly in order determine whether the mother had a right to nurse in the restaurant. The mother was told that she would have to leave or be charged with trespassing.
In response, a protest is planned for Sunday, February 22nd at that Denny's restaurant and at other locations. For more information, join this Yahoo group. Thanks to Angela at Breastfeeding 1-2-3 for collecting this information.
