Breast cancer is a political issue; and we are proud to have pushed this issue to the forefront of the national political agenda.  In each presidential election campaign since NBCC’s inception in 1991, our members have educated the candidates and the public about the importance of a political approach to breast cancer.  The Coalition looks beyond general statements of support from candidates and public officials.  NBCC holds policymakers accountable for how they vote and govern with regard to our substantive legislative and public policy priorities.  We are the political activists on breast cancer issues.

NBCC’s 2012 presidential campaign, the Breast Cancer Caucus, is urging the presidential candidates to see breast cancer not only as a health issue, but a political issue as well. We have asked each candidate for their positions on our legislative and public policy priorities and for a video answering the question “Do you support Breast Cancer Deadline 2020?  If so, as President what would you do to achieve its goal of ending breast cancer by January 1, 2020?”
