American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network

Congress just passed the most impactful cancer-fighting bill in years, thanks to advocates like you! Your advocacy made a difference. This bill means more people can be screened for #cancer earlier, get treatment sooner, and have a better chance to survive & thrive. Thank you ❤️

Thank you @ACSCAN for taking the time to meet today to talk about important pieces of legislation that will be important to fight cancer! #CancerAwareness #CancerResearch #cancerActionWeek

Honored to represent @UTMDAnderson and discuss @CPRITTexas’ impact at the @ACSCAN research advocacy breakfast with Kristen Doyle, Ray Perryman and Rep. Greg Bonnen. CPRIT investment continues to make Texas a leader in the work to  #EndCancer.

Your vote in November can help save lives from cancer. The people we elect vote on things like how much funding goes to cancer research, who can access care & more. This affects millions of lives. Sign up for #CancerVotes & help make cancer a priority ⬇️ act.fightcancer.org/a/yes-i-want-l…

As Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is marked, @ACSCAN thanks @GovPritzker for prioritizing colorectal cancer screening $$ in his budget proposal & urges legislators to follow suit by including $2 mil for colorectal & lung cancer screenings @NatlToday nationaltoday.com/us/il/springfi…

Thank you Asm @GScharfenberger, for a very productive meeting w/@ACSCAN vol. Bill Cronin. Thank you for cosponsoring 100% smoke-free NJ; No Cost PSA & supporting funding for NJCEED. We hope you'll consider cosponsoring a non-lapsed funding increase for NJCCR. #canceractionweeknj

Kentucky is losing ground when it comes to preventing youth from using tobacco products, including e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches. @ACSCAN urges the conference committee to make tobacco prevention and cessation a priority. #KYga26 fightcancer.org/releases/kentu…

Yesterday, the Alliance for Breast Cancer Policy spent the day on Capitol Hill advocating for the #ABCDAct, which would make diagnostic imaging more accessible for all. Thank you to all of the organizations who joined us and to @RepDebDingell, @RepBrianFitz, @RepDWStweets, @SenKatieBritt, and @SenatorShaheen for championing the #ABCDAct.

Spending the morning at the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network Greater Houston Research and Advocacy Breakfast.  Great to hear about the continued work of @CPRITTexas and its impact at places like @UTMDAnderson! @ppisters @ACSCANTexas @ACSCAN #Fightcancer

@ACSCAN vols. were very grateful to meet with Senator @PatrickDiegnan, a co-sponsor of all our 2026 legislative asks: NJCCR $10M allocation; No Cost PSA; NJCEED $5M funding; Smoke-Free casinos. Thank you, Senator for your continued support. #canceractionweek

An emotional day at the Statehouse as legislators, survivors, and advocates from the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network shared their stories and spoke in support of measures to expand access to biomarker testing and patient navigation services. Story soon.

Honored to stand alongside Dr. Peter Pisters and represent the patient voice at the @ACSCAN advocacy breakfast. Collaboration between UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, ACS-CAN, and CPRIT drives progress. As a stage IV melanoma survivor, I’m here because of a clinical trial that became a standard of care. #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #CPRIT #ResearchSavesLives

Huge shout-out & thank you to Yaminah Romulus @DanaFarber for her continued leadership, passion, and relentless advocacy at today’s @ACSCAN MA Advocacy Day at the State House. What happens when you bring together an incredible Manager of Gov’t Affairs and a 10-year cancer survivor? Pure Magic: Turning stories into action, & action into impact. Because of champions like Yaminah, patients’ voices are heard, and lives will be saved. ❤️👊👊 #ACSCANAdvocacy #MACancerLobbyDay #BiomarkerTesting #PatientNavigation #PancreaticCancer

I met today with staffers for my legislators, State Rep. Chris Markey & Sen. Mark Montigny at the Massachusetts State House to discuss #BiomarkerTesting, #PatientNavigation & #PancreaticCancer legislation during @ACSCANMA's annual Lobby Day! I also met with a staffer for Sen. Cindy Friedman, Chair of the Senate Committee on Health Care Financing to discuss S.1484. I tried meeting with the staff of Rep. Aaron Michlewitz, Chair of House Ways & Means to talk about H.2432, but they were off-site at a W&M budget hearing. I also had great conversations with Rep. Steve Ouellette, Rep. Carmine Gentile & Sen. Bruce Tarr at the Grand Staircase before/after our speaker program! #mapoli @ACSCAN @PanCANBoston @PanCAN @letswinpc @RepMichlewitz @RonMariano

We’re urging lawmakers at every level of government to prioritize access to comprehensive, affordable #HealthCare. (2/2)

Since 2010, the #AffordableCareAct has provided millions across the country with health coverage. But rising health care costs and the expiration of enhanced health care tax credits have caused health insurance premiums to spike. Many can no longer afford their plans. (1/2)

Proud to join partners and leaders at the @AmericanCancer Society Trailblazers in Cancer Summit to elevate advocacy solutions for equitable access to cancer innovation, representing @ACSCAN & sharing the stage w/Brian Heath (@KitePharma) & Shannon Bradley (@KeckMedUSC).

@acscan Florida Senior Government Relations Director @susan_harbin and @FLdecidesHC @MitchEmerson presenting at #FLCANSummit regarding the dire situation many Floridians are in due to the state legislatures decision to NOT expand Medicaid.
