🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 California has just passed the historic Toxic-Free Medical Devices Act (AB 2300), banning the toxic phthalate DEHP from IV bags and tubing! This law is the first in the nation and a huge win for patient safety and public health. 🎉 AB 2300 marks the 20th health-protective law that BCPP has championed! We wrote the legislation; met with dozens of offices; convinced legislators to support this bill; and rallied the masses to take action. Together, we made history!! But here is the caveat... The new law will not go into effect until 2030! Sometimes, no matter how hard you push, the industry pushes back harder. But we are not giving up yet. We're just getting started. Because the pursuit of patient safety is far from over. 3 of the 4 leading manufacturers of IV bags and tubing have DEHP-free options, and guess what? They’re cost-comparable. So, no more excuses about profit over people! We will now focus on calling on hospitals nationwide not to delay taking action and sign our pledge to go DEHP-free. Support our efforts by urging your hospital (if they don't already) to choose DEHP-free IVs! We need your help now to make this effort possible! Follow our campaign and donate to support or efforts for Toxic-Free IVs today, so we can continue to: ➡️ Convert hospital systems to non-toxic IV options ➡️ Educate health practitioners so they can protect their patients ➡️ Hold companies that sell PVC and DEHP medical devices accountable ➡️ Save lives by protecting neonates, mothers, cancer patients, and everyone! 🟣 Follow the campaign: 🟣 Donate to support Toxic-Free IV: Huge THANK YOU to @AsmLoriDWilson @yourcbhn @ACOG

As we enter the final weekend of holiday shopping, use these tips to shop safer: ☑️ Use an App: Get @letsclearya or @thinkdirty to find out whether products are toxic as you shop or get gifts. ☑️ Read Labels: Check ingredient labels to avoid chemicals of concern. ☑️ DIY: Many products are easy and fun to make yourself! Plus, you can customize the recipes to match your specific beauty concerns and favorites. Lastly, you can also help advocate for safer beauty. Write a letter to Congress telling them that we deserve beauty products free from harmful chemicals!

Why Give Now? 💔 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. 🌍 Toxic chemicals and environmental factors play a big role in increasing that risk. 🕊️ Breast cancer is now the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in young people aged 20 to 39. Your donations drive life-changing victories that reduce our risk for breast cancer, like public health policies that protect everyone and safer products for all. But there’s so much more work to be done—and we need YOU to help make it happen. #BreastCancerPrevention #BreastCancer #CancerPrevention #EnvironmentalHealth #ToxicFreeFuture #MakeAnImpact #Donate #Nonprofit #Giveback

@ToxFreeFuture 📣 Retailers need to hear from you. Tell the CEOs of the 17 retailers in the Toxic Hall of Shame that toxic chemicals and plastics have no place on store shelves. They must #MindTheStore Take Action:

🌟 New Resource Alert 🌟 Did you know that BCPP launched the nation's first robust resource center covering 15+ risk and protective factors linked to breast cancer? Explore our Breast Cancer Risk Factor Hub and discover what you can do to reduce your risk, protect your loved ones, and drive systemic change in your community: Here's a surprising fact: only 10% of breast cancer risk is purely genetic. The other 90%? That’s influenced by toxic chemicals and environmental and lifestyle factors—things we can actively change to improve health outcomes. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this new hub... comment below! And even though Breast Cancer Prevention Month (October) is over, you can still support prevention year-round. Donations to BCPP help us continue protecting your health and the health of future generations. 🙌 #breastcancer #breastcancerprevention #cancerprevention #reduceyourrisk #toxicchemicals #environmentalhealth #tipsforprevention #healthliving #cleanliving #breastcancerpreventionmonth #breastcancerawarenessmonth #BCPM #BCAM
