Karuna R. Jaggar and former Breast Cancer Action board member Julie Morgan talk about this year's #ThinkBeforeYouPink campaign calling out Ford Motor Company for claiming to care about breast cancer while contributing to it. This is #pinkwashing wkyc.com/video/news/health/t…
"If Ford truly wants us to believe they have “been active in the fight against breast cancer since 1993,” why would they decide earlier this year to go full-throttle on sales of the highest-emission trucks and SUVs,... facebook.com/BCConsortium/po…

Read this op-ed by our executive director, @karunajaggar, in @commondreams about this year's #ThinkBeforeYouPink campaign. "Truth be told, @Ford’s #WarriorsInPink program is just another example of “#pinkwashing.” bit.ly/2JfjVHu

What we're reading today about women with breast cancer opting out of tamoxifen is nothing new. Activists have been very clear about the side effects of this drug and lack of attention to them by medical professionals for decades #ESMO18

Hey, @Ford Motor Company & @WarriorsinPink! You ask “what more can we do?” Here’s an idea. If you really want to show you care about #BreastCancer, stop making vehicles that produce cancer-causing exhaust! #PutTheBrakesOn

Scientists have known for decades that the chemicals in auto exhaust cause #breastcancer. That’s why we're calling out @Ford’s #WarriorsInPink for their hypocrisy. If #Ford really cared they’d stop making vehicles w/cancer-causing exhaust. bit.ly/2NVoDj4 #WednesdayWisdom

.@Ford Motors says they're "dedicated to fueling the spirit" of those living w/ breast cancer, but the truth is their cars and trucks are fueling the *risk* of #breastcancer.

4. Corporations often sell products containing substances increasing the risk to develop #breastcancer claiming to care about the disease. This is called #pinkwashing and it's why @Ford is being called out by @BCAction actnow.io/kwj59eO
