BCAction’s 2020 Think Before You Pink® campaign changed how the National Cancer Institute (NCI) communicates about breast cancer.
This will impact how breast cancer is addressed across the nation going forward. The changes we advocated for pushed the NCI to include critical information on the link between environmental exposures and breast cancer on their breast cancer prevention webpage for patients, and we need your help to continue this type of ground-breaking work.
There is so much more to collectively learn and do, especially in regard to how chemical exposures most directly affect under-resourced communities and communities of color, who are disproportionately impacted by racially biased industrial zoning, and decades of racist urban planning practices. That’s why we are a partner on two ground-breaking studies that could reshape practices to protect all people from these toxic exposures.
But to make these profound changes we need to raise $25,000 this Spring.
Breast Cancer Action is a proud partner on two studies right now:
People living with breast cancer are the subject matter experts. As breast cancer activists and advocates, it is our job to offer our unique and people-centered approach to bringing together researchers and the people with lived experience of breast cancer. By making these connections, we drive forward the systemic change needed to address and end this public health crisis.
To continue to do so, we need your support to fund this critical work.
