So, let’s keep it up!
If you were inspired by our line-up of radical and compassionate changemakers – now is the time to turn that inspiration into support of the work of BCAction – by bidding in our Radical Disruption Compassionate Resistance auction or donating to BCAction directly.
Our event program included a conversation between BCAction Executive Director KR and BCAction Internal Affairs Committee Chair CoCo Villaluz. CoCo shared personal, lived experiences of how energy, environmental, and zoning policy impacts her, her family, and her community. These personal experiences of environmental racism faced by Indigenous communities drives the point home: we must address inequitable environmental exposures faced by Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities to address and end breast cancer.
Program Manager Haleemah Atobiloye was joined by two featured speakers: BCAction’s partner in the Graton Pesticides (GRaPE) Research Study, Nichole Warwick, and climate movement leader Tamara Toles O’Laughlin.
These two environmental justice allies brought their unique expertise on the topics of science, research, and the power of community advocacy, as well as the necessary lenses of approaching this work with race, class, and environmental justice in mind. In combination, we see the pressing need to address and end breast cancer through a health justice lens, which is our critical and unique work.
