See our Link Tree for links to our latest projects https://linktr.ee/cancerfreeeconomyOur VisionThe Cancer Free Economy (CFE) is a network cultivating an inclusive movement to promote healthy environments where no one gets sick because of toxic chemicals where they live, learn, work, and play.We believe that cancer is an all-too-common diagnosis that devastates families and communities, for which a key opportunity for prevention has been largely left on the sidelines: hazardous chemicals in the water we drink, the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the products we use. We believe everyone's health matters, and that the most effective change comes from a holistic approach that engages new voices and strengthens existing movements.Our HistorySince 2014, the Cancer Free Economy has built a dynamic collaborative network among a diverse set of teams and stakeholders working together to accelerate progress towards a healthy, regenerative economy. Today, CFE's growing membership includes some 60 organizations and leaders, who have come together to pursue a deliberately audacious goal: "Within our generation, we will lift the burden of cancers and other diseases by driving a dramatic and equitable transition from toxic substances in our lives, communities, and economy to safe and healthy alternatives for all."How We WorkOur strategies are derived from an in-depth multi-year process to analyze the "system" that has created an economy that depends on hazardous chemicals. This process gave us strategic insights and built a spectrum of productive, on-going relationships with a common goal—to lift the burden of cancer within a generation—and a shared understanding of how to achieve that goal effectively. The network is organized into working groups, teams that address different strategic pathways to a safer materials economy including:Building Power, Health & Science, Shifting the Market, and Policy & Legal.
