Breast cancer has always been political. Let’s make sure everyone gets out to #VoteTomorrow because every vote is an important part of the effort to protect life-saving health coverage for millions. #ProtectOurCare #HealthCareTheVote https://t.co/51v1cIyDOj

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 https://t.co/QuHJDLXGdT

"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,... https://t.co/rmoeqmDAcZ

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.” https://t.co/XwXvIPXcql

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 & #WarriorsInPink! Your cars & trucks are fueling #breastcancer risk! We can see right through your pink-tinted smoke screen to the truth. It’s time to make the shift to a zero emission fleet! #PutTheBrakesOn: https://t.co/I1kBlA07lp

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

Help keep the pressure on #Ford: https://t.co/I1kBlA07lp

Our founder @PinkRibbonBlues talked to @voxdotcom about #BCAM products profit off survivors’ suffering https://t.co/LNo2l7lctg #bcsm #bccww

[BC Consortium @BC_Consortium]

Over the years “Pinkwasher” has become a common term used to describe the hypocrisy and lack of transparency that surrounds #BCAM and fundraising. It was coined by the group @BCAction https://t.co/ElNNIzeai0 #bcsm #bccww

[Breast Cancer Action @BCAction]

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. https://t.co/I1kBlA07lp #WednesdayWisdom

Hey @Ford & @WarriorsinPink! Your cars & trucks are fueling breast cancer risk! We can see right through your pink-tinted smoke screen to the truth.

.@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.
