Black women are being killed by breast cancer at a 40%+ higher rate than white women, making Black Breast Cancer a different and distinctive disease that must be addressed by all stakeholders in the breast cancer ecosystem.
Though there are numerous breast cancer advocacy groups and stakeholders, there is a need to bring together all stakeholders to serve as allies in this army to fight Black Breast Cancer. No one entity can accomplish this alone. Our work requires collaboration, partnership, shared resources and consistent action, where we can share knowledge and hold each other accountable towards this critical goal.
Touch, The Black Breast Cancer Alliance will drive the collaborative efforts of patients, survivors, advocates, advocacy organizations, health care professionals, researchers and pharmaceutical companies to work collectively, with accountability, towards the common goal of eradicating Black Breast Cancer.
