Rachel's Friends Mission Statement
We are an Oregon advocacy organization dedicated to lowering the incidence of breast and other cancers by reducing our exposure to environmental carcinogens. We do this through education, legislative action, and organizing for change on behalf of Oregonians.
"The history of cancer is long,
but our recognition of the agents that
produce it has been slow to mature."
- Rachel Carson, Silent Spring,
1962
Rachel's Friends
What We Do:
- Publish a quarterly newsletter with the latest information about environmental issues that may impact breast cancer.
- Organize at least two educational meetings a year to discuss environmental links to cancer.
- Contact public officials and testify to policy making bodies about public health issues relating to environmental toxics.
In an attempt to preserve our environment, Rachel's Friends does not accept financial support from pharmaceutical, chemical or petroleum companies or companies that are known polluters.
