Sojourner Marable Grimmett and Monica L. Ponder are co-founders of Table for Two (TFT), Incorporated, a community organization that seeks to establish public lactation rooms for breastfeeding mothers. With its grassroots and real-world approach to building global breastfeeding acceptance, the signature TFT campaign asks the important question, "You wouldn't eat in the bathroom, so why would you expect a baby to?" In public locations locally and broadly, lactating mothers are asked to feed their children in the restroom or to call in advance of their travel plans to arrange a private room to pump or breastfeed. All breastfeeding mothers deserve safe, secure, and comfortable places to pump and nurse. Table for Two seeks to build awareness so that this basic human right will become a reality. The TFT campaign is a resource for anyone looking to build lactation rooms in their community and workplaces.
