We need to feed them Echo-Hawk with the Seattle Women’s Commission. “It can embarrass a woman so much that she may choose to stop breast- feeding.” Eliminating barriers to breastfeeding will help more women continue to nurse, she added. Since the Washington state law protecting public breastfeeding went into effect in 2009, three mothers have filed complaints with the state Human Rights Commission. One mother was asked to move to another location while she was breast- feeding her baby in the lobby of her physical therapist in Sultan. She was uncomfortable with the sit- uation so she left the office without keeping her appointment. That business agreed to buy a $5,000 U.S. Savings Bond in the child’s name, said Laura Lindstrand, policy analyst state commission. Two other cases are pending. One com- plaint was filed by a mother who was told she couldn’t breastfeed her baby at a day- care center in Long Beach. Another was filed by a mother who was breastfeeding ‘It can embarrass a woman so much that she may choose to stop breastfeeding’ when they’re hungry,” said the mom of a 1- year-old. Sometimes that means you’re out in a public place, she said, adding: “Just get out of my business. I’m going to feed my baby.” The Seattle Women’s Commission lob- bied for the bill after hearing from dozens of community and women’s groups that moth- ers were being told to cover up or leave. “For those who have been discriminated against, it’s embarrassing,” said Abigail Bank Youth Job Fair April 12 is Just One of Many Career Opportuni- ties in Portland … in NW News For The Skanner News on your smart phone go to www. theskannermobile.com or scan this QR code with your app. Youth Take Big Hits in City of Portland Budget Cuts … in NW News UK’s Sky News: We Hacked in the Public Inter- est … in Breaking News continued from page 1 Jackson is responsible for the company’s activities related to the Community Reinvestment Act Jackson earned a bachelor’s degree in English and Journalism, and a Master’s degree in Communications at University of Oregon.
