VBCF Advocacy In Action
If you would like to actively support breast cancer legislation at the state and national level, SIGN UP FOR VBCF’S ADVOCACY ALERTS. These brief email alerts are sent periodically – when your advocacy is needed the most. The Alerts will keep you up to date with the latest breast cancer legislation and provide the tools and information you need to take action. They also provide policy education, with background and details about advocacy issues of interest to the breast cancer community. VBCF offers periodic webinars, and/or in-person training to present in-depth information on policy issues, or to prepare for our state and national advocacy days. Join us to let your voice be heard – no training is necessary!
