Social justice activist. Corporate ass-kicker. Civil rights advocate. Profound changer of lives. Visionary.
Barbara’s fire and compassion inspired and empowered women living with and at risk of breast cancer, and all those who care about them, to change the course of the epidemic.

A Legacy of Action
At Breast Cancer Action, we talk about breast cancer as the disease that it is - a disease that has environmental causes,a disease that kills more women of color than white women, and when it comes to device and drug approval at the FDA, a disease that is dominated by the pharmaceutical industry and not patients.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, exposes people to a variety of known carcinogens and endocrine disruptors with links to increasing our risk of breast cancer.
