Breastesses and boobies

Today the kids and I joined MOMS supporters and their kids in demonstrating outside the Governator's San Francisco office, urging him to sign SB600 and SB484 into law. SB600 establishes a statewide biomonitoring program to measure Californians' chemical burden. SB484 requires cosmetics manufacturers to disclose indgredients in their products that are linked to cancer and reproductive harm. MOMS is asking Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign both of these bills into law. Email MOMS [letters at safemilk dot org] if you would like to add your signature to the letter.

Last Sunday my sister-in-law Jennie walked in the Race for the Cure on a team sponsored by Feel Your Boobies, an organization whose goal is to raise awareness among young women about breast cancer and the importance of self-breast exams. Please check out their site and if you can, buy one of their T-shirts or other FYB goodies. I did!

Oh, and go feel your boobies. I am!
