In 2025, thanks to the enormous power of our volunteers, ACS CAN impacted more than 25 million lives through advocacy work. See how our collective voices were the catalyst for lifesaving public policy victories critical to the fight against #cancer ➡️ FightCancer.org/Accomplishments

It was great seeing @RoyCooperNC last week, but we wish we had the chance to ask you if you will sign the #CancerPromise and commit to helping save lives from cancer if elected. #CancerVotes cancervotes.org/2026CancerProm…

This week, the House passed the Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act, which identifies opportunities to advance #LungCancer research and early detection. Women and families impacted by this disease can't wait. We urge the Senate to quickly pass this bill.

We’re here at California State Capitol meeting with several legislators about important @ACSCANCA bills like SB1309 Stop Cancer Early Act. Great responses so far! In honor of my mom, Mary Kang, who fought lung cancer from 2019-2020. #CACancerActionDay @ACSCAN

Today I joined @ACSCAN volunteers in Sacramento to support AB 957 (no tobacco sales in pharmacies), SB 1309 (no-cost lung cancer screening for high-risk individuals), and AB 2161 (reducing Medi-Cal administrative burden). #CACancerActionDay

A local advocate driven by personal loss is now stepping onto the national stage in the fight against cancer. @vincemarchetta1 has been named to @ACSCAN's National Board, helping guide policy efforts aimed at ending cancer. @nbc4i @CierraJohnsonTV

This week, we recognize the people who power every win, our Advocates. You show up. You speak out. You push for change when it matters most. Thank you for standing with @ACSCAN and fighting for a future where we eliminate cancer as we know it, for everyone.

Honored to be named a 2026 Champion Against Cancer by the @ACSCAN. For 3 years, we worked with @BrockMartinTN to pass bipartisan legislation expanding access to cancer biomarker testing in TN. As a 2x cancer survivor, this was personal. More access = more lives saved.

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week to all our cancer advocates making an impact in the fight against cancer! You make this work possible and we're so grateful to you for all that you do! #VolunteerAppreciationWeek #CancerAdvocacy

The President’s new budget proposal calls for cuts to medical research funding, falling short of what patients need & would lead to missed opportunities for cancer breakthroughs. Send a message to your lawmakers urging them to invest in #CancerResearch. act.fightcancer.org/a/presidents-b…

The administration released its proposed budget for FY27, which includes funding reductions to @NIH of approximately 12%. We're calling on Congress to maintain its bipartisan commitment to robust, increased investments in #CancerResearch and prevention. fightcancer.org/releases/congr…

Your vote can save lives. 🤍 Proud to stand with @ACSCAN as a #CancerVotes volunteer—because the fight against cancer goes beyond medicine. It’s about access, policy, and people. Learn more: CancerVotes.org 🗳️

Reinstating @FDATobacco CTP staff is a positive step that helps ensure essential tobacco prevention and enforcement. We urge restoring @CDCgov’s OSH to continue critical work protecting public health and preventing chronic disease, including cancer. tobaccofreekids.org/press-releases…

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.
