BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS PLAN TO NURSE TOPLESS AT COMMUNITY FESTIVAL

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 12, 2009 -- Columbus, Ohio, potentially worldwide - June 10, 2009

Breastfeeding babies, mommies and anyone else who supports breastfeeding are invited to participate in celebrating the wonderfully multi-functional purpose of breasts... especially their perfect ability to nourish and nurture babies! The “Hooray for Boobies!” nurse-in event, coordinated by Lauren Damon, will be held in Goodale Park at ComFest in Columbus, Ohio, on June 26 & 27. While not required, participants will be encouraged to breastfeed topfree, which is legal in the state of Ohio. A sister virtual event is being held online for those on Facebook, asking participants to change their status for the day to "Hooray for Boobies! I am celebrating the wonderfully multi-functional purpose of breasts... especially their perfect ability to nourish and nurture babies! http://normalizebreastfeeding.info/events.htm"

ComFest event hours are as follows:
June 26, 2009 12pm - 5pm
June 27, 2009 10am-1pm, break, 4pm-7pm

The “Hooray for Boobies!” event goals are to combat the oversexualization of the breast in Western culture and to bring exposure to the naturality and beauty of breastfeeding.

About “Hooray for Boobies!”:

Lauren Damon, a mother in Ohio, had the idea that ComFest would be the perfect place to host a nurse-in to raise breastfeeding awareness and support. She posted her idea on the group discussion board of “Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!”. Group member and fellow lactivist Tiffany Deering responded to the post, offering her assistance as market coordinator, the two proceeded to collaborate and the “Hooray for Boobies!” nurse-in event was born.
