Breast Cancer Prevention Partners

SCIENCE, PUBLIC EDUCATION & ENGAGEMENT: BCPP is a leader in the breast cancer and environmental health scientific communities. Our science program translates, disseminates and communicates evidence of environmental links to breast cancer. This informs our programmatic work and shapes the national breast cancer prevention research agenda. Additionally, key to all of our work is building awareness about toxic chemicals and radiation linked to the disease and mobilizing a growing community to take action for breast cancer prevention. We do this through public education, social media advocacy and by participating in conferences, meetings and other events.

NATIONAL AND STATE POLICY AND PROGRAMS:BCPP has two decades of experience developing and implementing successful state and federal policy initiatives focused on preventing exposures to unsafe chemicals linked to increased rates of breast cancer and other diseases. BCPP advocates for legislative and regulatory public health policies at the local, state and federal level to protect the public against unsafe chemical exposures. Our sophisticated understanding of the political and regulatory landscape and our track record of developing successful policy initiatives makes BCPP uniquely qualified to lead cutting-edge public policy initiatives, and to serve as a trusted resource to state and federal decision-makers.

BUSINESS ACCOUNTABILITY:Our market-based campaigns grow consumer awareness of, and demand for, safer consumer products free of chemicals that are harmful to human health and the environment. The goal of our market-based advocacy is to create major industry shifts away from the use of toxic chemicals and toward safer products and production. BCPP works to support and grow new industry champions, and to guide current industry leaders toward safer products by providing the resources and technical support they need to achieve this goal. We also push companies to provide full ingredient disclosure so consumers can make more informed purchases.
