Take Action

Take Action. End Breast Cancer.

For over 25 years, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has a long and rich history in public policy advocacy.

We believe that scientific progress must be complemented by sound public policy. To that end, the Komen Advocacy Alliance works to influence public policy-makers at the federal, state and local levels to increase public investment in quality breast health and breast cancer care and research.

Make your voice heard.

As part of our advocacy efforts, we have established Komen Champions for the Cure™, a structured grassroots program designed to educate Congress, the President and other policy-makers about breast cancer through community involvement.

An important component of Komen Champions for the Cure is the new interactive Web site which offers every American the opportunity to become an eChampion and influence the federal government on crucial breast cancer issues. United, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.

Influencing Federal and State Policymakers

Susan G. Komen for the Cure takes its special brand of pink ribbon activism on the road in a powerful grassroots effort to “Close the Gap” in access to quality health care, research and information. Over the next 25 years, five million Americans could be diagnosed with breast cancer – and because there are gaps in our system, this diagnosis will be deadlier for some than for others. That's wrong and we are working hard to inform and educate our policymakers.
