National Breast Cancer Coalition

The National Breast Cancer Coalition is another group focused on advocacy and changing legislature. The link to their homepage is:

For information about the National Breast Cancer Coalition, also known by the acronym; NBCC, try this link:

Excerpted from the page listed above:

Background:

"Since its inception in 1991, the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC) has been committed to guaranteed access to quality healthcare for all as a top public policy priority. Healthcare must be available to all individuals regardless of their ability to pay. The Coalition's mission is to eradicate breast cancer. We believe the only way to achieve our mission is to ensure access to comprehensive, quality care for all."

What I liked about this organization best is their Annual Advocacy Training Conference. The link for the 2008 Conference, to be held in Washington DC, April 26-29 2008 is:

AS the National breast Cancer Coalition says: " Revolution is not a one time event".
