Help Indeed Brewing Co. build a Mother's Room

At Solar Arts, we strongly agree employers should provide a discrete nursing space for their employees - it's a no-brainer! And MN Stat 181.939 makes it clear it's the employer's responsibility to do so. As such, we're perplexed why Indeed has chosen not to create lactation space in the 15,000 square feet they manage. They built a break room for employees on-site, and there is nothing stopping them from creating a lactation room, too. At one point, we even lined up a separate suite/office for them to rent, but they decided to back out at the last minute. We strongly encourage Indeed to follow the lead of responsible employers everywhere and make their workplace compliant. Maybe if they get enough signatures on this petition they will take action! The space they want is private artist space and only open to the public 20 days or so each year. In the meantime, Solar Arts will instead continue to provide free space to women and community groups like the Women's Art Resources of Minnesota and Girls On The Run and many other non-profits to support fundraising efforts, as we have for the last several years.

If we as a society are to truly support breastfeeding mothers/families, we must dedicate public spaces for that purpose. Proper lactation spaces give pumping and breastfeeding mothers the confidence and comfort they need to continue breastfeeding their babies until a time that is optimal for the health of both the infant and breastfeeding parent.

Family support should be part of our culture. Change like a lactation room shows how we can appreciate the family.

Supporting mothers and young families is a core, essential part of building a healthy and equitable community. Would LOVE to see this. Please do the right thing!

As Nike says, “ just do it “!

Make this happen!!!

Mothers should have a private space for pumping. Do the right thing and help Indeed build this room.

Come on already!

I'm sure I don't understand the whole story, but I still think a lactation room is a sweet idea. Build it!!

Yes please!!

This is a no brained! Lactation rooms everywhere!!

We absolutely agree! Moms should be able to have both options.

While this is great, especially for pumping moms, babies should still be able to eat (moms able to nurse) in the taproom itself if they so choose.

This would help so many people! Thanks for fighting for this!

Lactating mothers need to be able to get out and do fun things like go to breweries with their young children! It is good for maternal mental health and therefore benefits children and families.

Really?

I’m a new mom and lactation stations are a MUST! I need to feed my son every two hours and have often decided not to visit businesses due to his feeding schedule.
