DESCRIPTION:Raise Your Voice to Hold Avon Accountable!  Thursday, May 13th, 4pm  San 
 Francisco General Hospital  Meet at the corner of Potrero Ave. & 22nd St.  
 Corporate conscience belongs in a company's products, not just in its 
 marketing.  Major cosmetics company, Avon, markets itself as a leader in 
 the fight against breast cancer while selling products that contain harmful 
 chemicals.  Avon will be in town for the opening of the Avon Foundation 
 Comprehensive Breast Center at San Francisco General Hospital.  Come march, 
 hold signs, and be a presence with Breast Cancer Action as we tell Avon 
 that if they really care about breast cancer they need to remove the 
 harmful chemicals from their products.    Help us send the message loud and 
 clear that Avon should put people's health before profit by:  - Removing 
 parabens - a chemical preservative that may be linked to breast cancer - 
 from its products,  - Reformulating all of its products for U.S. and 
 overseas markets according to the safety standards set by the European 
 Union, which prohibit the use of certain carcinogens, mutagens, and 
 reproductive toxins in cosmetics beginning in September of 2004,  - Fully 
 disclosing all product ingredients, and  - Being transparent and open about 
 how much money they raise for breast cancer and where and how the money is 
 spent.     Everyone is welcome!  To learn more about cosmetics, chemicals, 
 and breast cancer go to: http://www.ThinkBeforeYouPink.org.  For more 
 information about the demonstration or to RSVP please contact Kendra at 
 Breast Cancer Action at 415-243-9301 or kklein@bcaction.org  \n
