October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Learn the signs and take the pledge

Breast Cancer Awareness Month · The march

Ten thousand people. One message.

EquiAccess is collaborating with the Federation of African Medical Students' Associations (FAMSA) to bring ten thousand people together to march against breast cancer across Africa, where awareness and access are both needed most.

What ten thousand people can do

Make the signs known

Every marcher carries the five signs of breast cancer into their own family and neighborhood.

Make early detection normal

Talking openly about breast checks is how a first visit happens sooner.

Make the case for care

Ten thousand voices asking for screening and treatment every woman can reach.

Where it started

From Portland City Hall to ten thousand voices.

Every October, the City of Portland proclaims Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Twice, our founder has organized and spoken on panels for that proclamation.
