I hope it's ok to post this here . . . . .
Sorry for the short notice. (We hope to print and present this petition Saturday 7/29/06.) I thought this had been posted here already. Please forgive me if it has but I didn't see it when I searched.
On July 21, 2006 a local (Cleveland, Ohio) nursing mother (who wishes to remain anonymous) was refused permission to nurse her baby before paying for her purchases at the Aeropostale store in Great Northern Mall (which is owned by Westfield Corp).
Westfield Corp. owns four Cleveland area malls in addition to the malls they own in twelve other states and three other countries (the UK, Australia and New Zealand).
A corporation of this size needs to have a clear, unambiguous stance on breastfeeding on their property. Westfield Corporation needs to educate themselves on the needs specific to the growing numbers of families who chose the healthy, government-endorsed option of breastfeeding their children and demonstrate this throughout their properties.
Please sign our on-line petition so this kind of treatment doesn't set a precident at Westfield properties.
