The Wisconsin Breast Cancer Coalition proudly serves on the Board of Directors for the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC). WBCC has always supported the federal policy priorities of NBCC. We work year round to educate our congressional delegation about those priorities and to gain their support. Our grassroots network of advocates in districts around the state respond to legislative alerts when we need legislators to hear from their constituents.
This support from breast cancer advocates has been enormously successful in helping to get important legislation passed relating to research funding and access to quality care.
You can join our efforts by going to the Contact page and signing up to recieve important legislative alerts so that you can act when your legislator needs to hear from you.
Join your voice with thousands of advocates around the country - together, we can make a difference.
