·         Is there a “cap” on the amount the company will donate? Has this maximum donation already been met? Can you tell?

·         Does this purchase put you or someone you love at risk for exposure to toxins linked to breast cancer? What is the company doing to ensure that its products do not contribute to the breast cancer epidemic?

And if you want to get more involved in this movement, there are two things you can do. After all, major change in legislation often begins with citizens standing up for what they believe in.

First, stand up against fracking. “More than 700 chemicals are used in the fracking process, and 25 percent of them are linked to cancer,” says Alyssa Figueroa, campaigns coordinator for Breast Cancer Action in a newsletter. “That’s why we’re pushing for a fracking ban on public lands.”

Second, support the Lymphedema Treatment Act.  “The Lymphedema Treatment Act (LTA) is a federal bill that aims to improve insurance coverage for the medically necessary, doctor-prescribed compression supplies that are the cornerstone of lymphedema treatment,” according to LymphedemaTreatmentAct.org. Figueroa says lymphedema is a “common, debilitating side effect of breast cancer treatment. But not all women can afford the care they need.”

At the end of the day, the decision to act is a personal one that you may or may not agree with. But now you have the facts you need to make an educated choice.
