Episode 108: Advocating to Address Barriers

Susan G. Komen has long worked to mobilize our communities to take action. Susan G. Komen’s Center for Public Policy serves as the leading voice of the more than 3.8 million breast cancer survivors, 168,000 people living with metastatic disease, and the scientists, health care professionals, caregivers and members of the public who are concerned about breast cancer. Komen works to educate people about public policy issues, so they are empowered to become forceful advocates for themselves and their neighbors, and then unites their collective voices for maximum impact. Sound government action is critical for making the broad, systemic and lasting changes we need to save lives and end breast cancer forever. That means that Komen – as a patient advocacy organization with first-hand knowledge of how breast cancer touches people and communities – must advocate at all levels of government. The Center for Public Policy, focuses on work to: Empower people and policymakers with knowledge; Connect advocates together; and Mobilize everyone to Act for lasting change. Joining us today is Molly Guthrie, Sr. Director, Public Policy and Advocacy.

Special Guest: Molly Guthrie.
