The C-Word

We need to talk about the c-word. It's ruthless. It's scary. It sucks. And it affects everyone. Cancer.

I know, I know... you were just browsing with your choice of caffeine (shout out to my PSL lovers), looking for a happy distraction and the last thing you want to read about is cancer. Fair. So, we'll go ahead and skip over the stats like 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime and trans women have double the risk compared to cis men.

Instead, let's take this conversation into our own hands. Literally. Check your boobs at least once a month.

At Against, there is no shortage of passion. You should see us debate our favorite candy (Sorry Jennie, but black licorice?...just no.). However, something we can all rally around is giving cancer the middle finger (đź–•) and we wanted to do something about it. So, with breast cancer being the most common and October being one of our favorite months, we partnered up with the amazing, local nonprofit Tit for Tat.

Founder and President, Dannie Nicholson, is one of the most badass humans that we know. Her mission is to arm breast cancer survivors with a wholistic healing approach, including 3-D areola micropigmentation. Did you even know that was a thing? It's so cool – check it out.

Suck It Cancer, our limited-edition line of merch, celebrates breast cancer survivors and supporters.

This sassy and playful swag reminds people to take prevention into their own hands and goes towards a good cause. All proceeds from the collection will be donated to Tit for Tat on your behalf. Aaaand, there’s a bonus–Against is matching every purchase made, up to $500. Merch is available now through 10/31. Ready, set, shop.

Love,

Your breast friends at Against
