Choose Breast Cancer Research Stamps
This blog is about ways to go about activism in everyday life. What's more everyday than stamps? Albeit, I admit, I don't use stamps nearly as much as I know the previous generation does. Everything is pretty much online these days. But I do keep some around and send a few things by regular mail, here and there, and when I do, I always use my breast cancer research stamps. This really is an incredible program. Without people having to go out of their way by much, in the first (roughly) ten years of the stamp's circulation, it raised nearly $60 million for research. That was 3 years ago. That's amazing. And it goes to fight something 1 in 8 women will suffer from (so says Wikipedia). So please, next time you buy stamps, make that extra little effort to buy breast cancer research stamps. They're a little more than regular, but it's worth it. You don't even have to go to the post office to get them. Follow that link above and you can buy them online or over the phone. If we all work together, we can beat this.
