It's National Mammography Day!

Did you know? Mammograms are the best way to screen for breast cancer and doctors recommend testing beginning at age 40 but many women experience inadequate health care access as lower income women or those without insurance are often unable to afford the screenings.

The CDC reports that by the time they are 70 years old, 50 out of 100 women with a breast cancer gene (BRCA1 or BRCA2) mutation will develop breast cancer. This shows that as women age they become more at risk- making self testing and screenings a critical component of good health.

Have you or your loved ones been affected by breast cancer? We stand with you in support of survivors and loved ones lost along the way. Comment below about your experience or share you support for finding a cure!

In addition to DVAM, October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Did you know? According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, there is estimated to be over 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. and they found that 1 in 8 women in the US will develop breast cancer.

Check out the resources in the post to learn more and be on the look out for our mammography day post!

(fun fact it is also LGBTQ+ History Month - check out .lgbtq for more information and facts about this!)

We're continuing our efforts to raise awareness for DVAM all month long!
In this post we are highlighting the color purple. The color purple is not just a movie, but a color with connections to the women's suffrage movement and symbolism including royalty and luxury. The color purple is also used to represent bravery and honor (e.g. the purple heart award given to soldiers). As you can see this color has a rich history and is now closely associated with the fight to end domestic violence (DV). So lets don our purple colors for this month and celebrate the successes of these movements and continue to advocate for ending DV everywhere! 💜

We stand in solidarity with those impacted by and we believe there is no excuse for Domestic Violence. We will be partic...

Join us for an evening that will be a relaxed, joyful gathering centered on community and celebration. We’ll be playing Lotería and sharing food, music, dancing, singing, and conversation about Latinx and Spanish cultures. This event intends on raising awareness for both the diaspora generation of people with mixed ethnic descent (including persons of Black / Latinx and Hawaiian / Latinx communities) and to facilitate a game night that honors the rich cultural significance of Lotería with a modern twist. Featuring on campus organizations like the Women’s & LGBTQ+ Centers, Global Student Exchange, Ke Kalahea, the History Club RISO and more! Enjoy free refreshments and snacks while you play, dance, and craft the night away~ ✨
