To ensure that our promise to end breast cancer forever is fulfilled, scientific advances and private investment must be accompanied by sound public health policy at all levels of government. That is why public policy advocacy is so vital to Komen and its Affiliate network. Through its signature grassroots advocacy program, Komen Champions for the Cure™, Komen has become a global leader in breast cancer public policy. Maintaining and enhancing this leadership role in the breast cancer movement demands that Komen continue to increase its investment in the policy arena. And it demands that the organization harness and leverage the power of its grassroots network, both in the U.S. and around the world.

To enhance our successful public policy efforts, Komen has established the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Alliance. The Komen Advocacy Alliance is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that will allow Komen to build upon the bold public policy successes of Susan G. Komen for the Cure and take our policy efforts to the next level. As a 501c4 organization, the Alliance has more latitude to advocate for life-saving breast cancer public policy change.

Current Issue:

Will Our Next President Help End Breast Cancer Forever?

America's next president could save lives—but only if you ask. By taking a moment to sign the I Vote for the Cure petition, which outlines three critical goals in the fight to end breast cancer, you can let our next leader know that you expect him or her to make breast cancer a national priority—in their platforms and for our country. Women are dying every day, when common-sense policies could ensure that every woman in America has access to high-quality breast health care. Make sure our next president hears from as many Americans as possible: we want a plan to end breast cancer forever!
