Flat Visibility: Meet in the Streets
Join the movement to create a society where Aesthetic Flat Closure is embraced without judgment or bias. Flat visibility at cancer events has the power to transform how we feel about ourselves and how others feel about their own bodies.
Be and advocate for AFC by walking at one of the local cancer events below.
- Locate a breast cancer event (see below for a partial list)
- Register a team — teams register through various organizations and not STAFC
- Invite others to join you in AFC advocacy! Here’s a handy list for finding flatties
- Share your team’s info with Stand Tall AFC and join a Stand Tall “Flat Visibility & Advocacy” zoom
- Ready, set, go! Take Flat Visibility to the Streets, shirts on or shirts off!
If you build it, Flatties will come.

FAQ’s
Q: Does everyone take their shirt off?
A: Nope! Breastless and one-breasted team members are visible in whatever way that feels right for them: shirts on or shirts off. Those with native or reconstructed breasts should not remove their shirts and one-breasted women should cover their remaining breast.
Q: How will Stand Tall AFC support teams?
A: STAFC does not manage teams or hosts events. We are a resource hub with links to regional flat groups and cancer events. We empower local leaders via monthly newsletters, educational brochures, booths, and Zoom meetings.
Q: Do I need to have aesthetic flat closure to be on an advocate for AFC?
A: Not at all! Friends, family, medical providers, supporters and our pink sisters with any breast reconstruction or lumpectomy can be an ally!
