Susan G. Komen for the Cure is re-energizing and amplifying a call to action for the breast cancer movement. Pink ribbon activism will take hold of California’s State Capitol in January 2008. We need ALL breast cancer advocates to help us make lots of noise in Sacramento as we challenge decision makers to "close the gap" in policy and funding that keeps too many women from receiving lifesaving breast cancer care.Help us turn the State Capitol PINK!
