How to Help

It is important for legislators to know their constituents support bills they are voting on. You can help promote breastfeeding legislation by:

  • Writing or emailing your senator and representative to encourage them to support breastfeeding legislation.
  • Visiting your senator and representative, either at their home office or at the Capitol, and encouraging them to support breastfeeding legislation.
  • Tracking breastfeeding legislation. To track a Texas bill and to receive bill and meeting alerts, visit http://www.capitol.state.tx.us
  • Testifying at hearings on breastfeeding legislation.
  • Becoming a member of TXBC and joining the legislative committee.
