DESCRIPTION: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 that may be linked to the disease. 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.   Do you 
 want to make some noise about chemicals and cosmetics?  Please join us to 
 hold signs, march, and be a presence as we tell Avon:  - thank you for 
 pledging to remove phthalates from your products,  - continue to be a 
 leader by removing parabens (a chemical preservative that may be linked to 
 breast cancer) and other harmful chemicals from your  products,   - fully 
 disclosing all product ingredients, and  - be open and transparent about 
 how much money you raise for breast cancer and where and how the money is 
 spent.  Everyone is welcome!  Hope to see you there!  To learn more about 
 cosmetics, chemicals, and breast cancer go to:

 demonstration or to RSVP please contact Brenda at Breast Cancer Action at
