Hi
John,
We want to thank all of you who, even in the midst of the current societal uncertainty and concern, participated in this year's Think Before You Pink® campaign: A (R)Evolution ([link removed]) . Together we will continue to push back on the rampant, unregulated capitalism that fuels pink ribbon cause marketing.

Breast Cancer Action has a long history of focusing on the root causes of breast cancer, and this October we took a hard look at the corporate tactics used to perpetuate the idea that somehow, consumerism lies at the root of the solution to ending this disease. But now, after 20 years of calling out bad actors, our community of passionate activists has had enough.

We're fed up with being manipulated by false advertising. We're fed up with the revolving door that allows regulatory agencies to stay in bed with lobbyists. We're fed up with manufacturers lacing our products with cancer-causing chemicals. We're fed up with living every day in a toxic soup because of the suppression of scientific evidence. And particularly in today's economic climate, we're fed up with our dollars doing little more than lining corporate pockets.

And with your commitment to this work, we're making a difference. Highlights and impacts from the last month include:
* Fierce advocate for women's health and Instagram Influencer Blair Imani highlighted our Critical Questions for Consumers in her series, SmarterInSeconds. ([link removed])
* Writing for Jezabel, Journalist Gila Pfeffer encouraged readers to Think Before You Pink because empty "awareness" is no substitute for meaningful action. ([link removed])
* Writing for Everyday Health, journalist Leona Vaughn interviewed our Deputy Director, Heather Perkins, to educate the public on the pitfalls of pink ribbon cause marketing and how to avoid them. ([link removed])
* Even ABC7 News is providing guidelines to help determine the most effective ways to contribute to ending the breast cancer crisis ([link removed]) , using our Critical Questions.

Our 20 Year Look-Back video on the wins achieved throughout Think Before You Pink® shows how the industry-disrupting campaign has continued to change the landscape of breast cancer fundraising year after year. If you haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, tune in to see the impact our collaborative actions have had. ([link removed])

In solidarity,
