Moving Forward… Protecting Women’s Health Care Webinar http://action.nwlc.org/site/R?i=oOkedA3b8x0BSlaNxgs0vA..
To celebrate the one year anniversary of the health care law, we’ll be discussing the parts of the law that have already gone into effect and what provisions are yet to come. We’ll be joined by other women’s health advocates from the National Partnership for Women and Families, women sharing their stories on how the health care law is already improving their lives, and a special guest.
We hope you can join us for this important webinar! http://action.nwlc.org/site/R?i=5DDlxsdbnWfHdtaogY6Lhw..
Thank you for your continued commitment to improving the health of women and their families.
Sincerely,
Judy Waxman
Vice President for Health and Reproductive Rights

One American will die from cancer every minute this year.
“Millions of Americans are living with cancer, and millions more are affected by the devastating toll a cancer diagnosis takes on families, communities and workplaces. Please make it a top priority for your Administration to create a cancer prevention plan that stops the use of cancer-causing chemicals in products used in America every day.”
We all know someone impacted by cancer and despite the devastation it causes to our friends and families, it’s perfectly legal for companies to add known cancer-causing chemicals to products we use every day in our homes, schools and workplaces. That can change.
President Obama has the ability to reverse decades of failed policies and set the course for a national cancer prevention strategy that includes eliminating the use of cancer-causing chemicals in everyday products. But he’s not going to do it if people everywhere don’t speak out.
That’s why Greenpeace is joining up with around 200 coalition groups to deliver a petition to the President in early May on the one-year anniversary of the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) President’s Cancer Panel report.

Sign our petition right now urging President Obama to make cancer prevention a priority by acting to protect us from cancer-causing chemicals and we’ll include your name in the delivery.
Last year, the NCI report urged the President “to remove the carcinogens and other toxins from our food, water, and air that needlessly increase health care costs, cripple our nation’s productivity, and devastate American lives.” Toxic chemicals are everywhere — in products like clothing, furniture, cleaning products, plastics, and shower curtains used by children, women, and men across the nation on a daily basis.
The NCI report’s final recommendation was for the President to “most strongly use the power” of his office to eliminate human exposure to cancer-causing chemical. We couldn’t agree more. Show him that you agree as well by signing the petition.

Cancer is a horrible disease but it can be prevented. It’s high time we made cancer prevention one of our highest national priorities.
For a safer and healthier future,
