Think Before You Pink®
Pinkwasher: A company or organization that claims to care about #breastcancer by promoting a pink ribbon product, but at the same time produces, manufactures and/or sells products containing chemicals that are linked to the disease.@BCAction
Breast Cancer Action retweeted
Pink Washing is a thing.
Pinkwashing, a term coined by Breast Cancer Action in 2002, describes the practice of using the pink ribbon to market products without a meaningful donation to breast cancer research or advocacy.

From greenwashing to pinkwashing, no one does meaningless PR campaigns like Big Oil 😍
Don’t let them twist the truth: Big Oil is exposing countless people to toxic chemicals linked to breast cancer. We’re working with @BCAction to stop them.

The passage of #AB421 is justice for all California voters, but especially Black and brown voters whose voices often go unheard yet bear the brunt of abuse from greedy corporations.
Black and brown voters deserve to have their voices heard, respected, and centered.

California has taken BIG steps forward on climate. But Big Oil has launched an all-out counterattack.
Will they subvert democracy & undermine public health, or will we fight back and win?

@CoveringClimate now has a great summary of the top 8 findings from the #IPCC report, pulling out the language scientists used to write about #climatechange, and then translating those findings into plain English. #scicomm
