ACT NOW: Save Science to Save Lives

July 21, 2025

Save Science to Save Lives

Act today to save the scientific research we know can save lives and end breast cancer.

NBCC is taking part in a Day of Action: Protecting Science and Innovation, joining organizations across the academic, scientific, and medical research worlds to protect the integrity of science and the American institutions that power it.

NBCC advocates know firsthand that science saves lives

Take a moment today to tell your member of Congress: Upcoming cuts to current research funding, and future plans unveiled in the president’s fiscal year 2026 budget request, would slash medical research funding, including at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other critical programs. That will cost lives. Women and men with and at risk of breast cancer will pay the price.

Take Action NOW to Have Long-Term Impact on Breast Cancer Research:

  • Contact your representative and senators in our online action center. Be sure to customize the text to include a few personal details about how research has affected your life.
  • Share these steps with fellow breast cancer advocates – and everyone – via email, social media, or wherever you’re active online. There is power in numbers!

Thank you for helping save science to save lives.
