This year we mark a significant milestone as an organization as we celebrate 30 years of

BreastfeedLA! We cordially invite you to celebrate with us at BreastfeedLA’s 2024 Birthing

Boldly, Fearlessly Feeding: Know Your Rights for Parents & Providers (formerly known as: Advocacy Day) taking place on August 29 & 30, 2024.


This two-day event will bring community members and professionals together to explore

crucial topics affecting families in the childbearing years. Attendees will explore birthing people's

rights, paid family leave, lactation rights and more! This is a great opportunity to gain

knowledge, foster dialogue, and ensure you know how to make sure your voice is heard!


Over the last 30 incredible years, we've worked tirelessly to broaden our impact by establishing

inclusive support groups, offering accessible lactation consultations, and hosting enlightening

workshops across diverse communities. Our belief remains resolute: by equipping caregivers

and individuals with knowledge and support, we're nurturing not only babies but also the

limitless potential of future generations.

Through engaging presentations, panel discussions, role-playing exercises, and networking opportunities,

attendees will gain valuable insights, skills, and resources to drive positive change in breastfeeding policies, support systems, and community practices. Join us in celebrating three decades of transformative impact and charting a course towards a future where every individualhas the knowledge, support, and rights to nurture the health and well- being of themselves and future generations.
