Protecting Our Mamaqs
An Environmental Health Toolkit for Breast Cancer Prevention
Driven by a core belief in environmental justice, ACAT empowers communities to eliminate exposure to toxics through collaborative research, shared science, education, organizing, and advocacy.
Protecting Our Mamaqs Fact Cards
Protecting Our Mamaqs: An Environmental Health Toolkit for Breast Cancer Prevention is designed to train Community Health Aides/Practitioners (CHA/Ps), health care professionals, and the people of Alaska about environmental contaminants found in the North and Arctic regions that are linked to breast cancer. The fact-cards are a summary of each factsheet included in the toolkit. We are grateful for the partnership and collaboration with AK Public Interest Research Group (AKPIRG) and their team of translators for the beautiful Yugtun (Yupik) translations.
