Advocacy Alliance

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, we have established the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Alliance. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Alliance is a sister organization to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, and is a voice for change on Capitol Hill, in state legislatures and on the campaign trail.  With the help of nearly 200,000 Komen Champions and Komen's network of 122 domestic affiliates, we are aggressively seeking increased funding for research and greater access to screening and treatment.  The Komen Advocacy Alliance engages policymakers and leaders at all levels of government to advocate for an increased investment in breast cancer research and greater access to breast health services.

Komen has made significant strides in the war on breast cancer over the past 25 years, but we have a long way to go. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Alliance will bring us closer to Komen's promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever.
