📢URGENT: We need your help TODAY! Completing these action alerts (and encouraging your friends and family to do the same!) only takes a few minutes and is crucial. The more members that sign the letters, the better chance we have of getting these requests over the finish line. The deadline for members to sign on is 9am ET tomorrow, so add your voice to the action alerts TODAY! 1️⃣ $20M for a Colorectal Cancer Research Program within the Department of Defense. Despite being the second leading cause of cancer death, #ColorectalCancer is the only top 5 cancer killer without its own research program in the DoD. Act now: fightcolorectalcancer.org/advocacy/actio… 2️⃣ Increase funding for the CDC’s Colorectal Cancer Control Program. Colorectal cancer can be prevented if caught early, but many eligible for screening haven't been screened. The program works to increase screening in needy communities.

Can we not go backward in time? Can we provide equal access and equal hope for all people? That starts with preventive care. Fighting to prevent screening does not make sense. Screening save lives lives. Treatment is physically brutal & costs a fortune. @POTUS @HHSGov @FightCRC

🚨@POTUS we are urging you to appeal the ruling issued today by Judge Reed O’Connor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, putting in jeopardy free preventive health services. Fight to protect patients’ access to life-saving health services! @HHSGov

We've partnered with @FightCrC to help spread the word about #ColorectalCancer (CRC) with our first #AdvocacyThrone that shares stats & facts about CRC. 🧐 #DYK: CRC is highly preventable and treatable when caught early?

Once again, I'm sharing my dad's story in the news! Please get screened and help us stop this silent killer! @FightCRC #ShadeyStrong #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth

Thank you @POTUS for your continued commitment to the fight against #cancer through the reignited #CancerMoonshot. We are proud to have met with leaders of White House Cancer Moonshot in July to ensure all Americans have access to treatment and screening. #SOTU #sotu2023
