Breast Cancer Action (BCA) carries the voices of people affected by breast cancer to inspire and compel the changes necessary to end the breast cancer epidemic.

1. Treatment -- by shifting the balance of power at the FDA away from the pharmaceutical industry and towards the public interest while advocating for more effective and less toxic treatments

2. Environment -- by decreasing involuntary environmental exposures that put people at risk for breast cancer.

3. Inequities -- by creating awareness that it is not just genes, but social injustices - political, economic, and racial inequities - that lead to disparities in breast cancer outcomes.

12 dates for BCA is being organized by Tori Freeman, a Breast Cancer Action Board Member.

She graduated from Mills College in 1998 with a B.A. in Sociology. In April 1998, Mills College awarded its first Christine LaFia Leadership Award to Tori. She was inspired to do an internship with BCA during her junior year (she later joined BCA's Development Task Force), after her Professor, Christine LaFia, died of the disease in 1996. Christine was a BCA board member from 1995 until her death, at age 37.

Tori is a 4th generation San Franciscan who grew up in Bayview Hunters Point and still lives in the community. She is on the board of the India Basin Neighborhood Association. For the past six years she's worked as the Operations Manager for Levy Art & Architecture.  Tori is a single mom to a great little toddler named Zoe.

She's looking forward to a fun night on Thursday, 9/25 with all of you.  Thank you for your support.
