Empowering Through Advocacy
Elevating Voices, Inspiring Change
At For the Breast of Us, advocacy is at the heart of our mission. We believe in the power of voices coming together to inspire change, particularly for women of color navigating the complexities of breast cancer. Our advocacy work focuses on addressing and dismantling the disparities within the healthcare system, ensuring equitable access to care, representation in research, and a seat at the table where decisions are made.
Why Advocacy Matters
Advocacy is crucial because it represents the bridge between lived experience and systemic change. For women of color, this bridge is often the difference between being heard and being overlooked. Through advocacy, we amplify our stories, highlight our needs, and demand attention to the unique challenges we face. It’s about creating a world where every woman, regardless of her background, receives the support, care, and respect she deserves in her breast cancer journey.
Our Advocacy Work: Voices for Change
Our advocacy initiatives are designed to:
- Promote Awareness: Raising consciousness about the specific hurdles women of color face in the breast cancer community and how to address them.
- Influence Policy: Working with policymakers to craft legislation that acknowledges and acts on the disparities in breast cancer care and research.
- Empower Community: Equipping our members with the tools and knowledge to advocate for their health and rights, both individually and collectively.
