[ACS CAN Arizona @ACSCANAZ]

@ACSCANAZ volunteers visited local businesses to deliver yard signs in support of our efforts to #ProtectMedicaid to remind our lawmakers that Southern Arizonans care about ensuring cancer patients, survivors, & their families have access to lifesaving healthcare. #FightCancer

[ACS CAN New Mexico @ACSCANnm]

The proposed cuts in the budget bill go well beyond Medicaid. This bill would raise health care costs for everyone, even those with private insurance. @MartinHeinrich, @SenatorLujan , your constituents are counting on you to #protectaffordablecare and #ProtectMedicaid.

[ACS CAN New Mexico @ACSCANnm]

Attacks on Medicaid are attacks on cancer patients. We can’t let this happen. @Rep_Stansbury, @RepTeresaLF, and @RepGabeVasquez will you please stand with us and #ProtectMedicaid?

Flavored tobacco products make it easier to start and harder to quit a deadly addiction. Thank you to our NM legislators who join the public health community and help to elevate support for prohibiting menthol in cigarettes and all flavors in cigars. @WhiteHouse

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Prohibiting flavored tobacco products will protect youth, advance #HealthEquity & save lives. We're proud to join lawmakers nationwide & the public health community to call on @WhiteHouse to finalize rules to prohibit menthol cigarettes & flavored cigars. https://t.co/eOyxaccVQ1

It’s #GivingTuesday @ACSCAN! That means it’s your opportunity to contribute to meaningful and impactful work that touches MILLIONS of lives, reducing the cancer burden nationwide. Your gift will be DOUBLED thanks to a $25k match from a generous donor. https://t.co/dje7T1dz4x

On #NationalCancerSurvivorsDay I’m asking @RepDLesko to cosponsor the #MCEDAct. Multi-cancer early detection screening can help reduce cancer disparities by detecting more cancers earlier in more people which can help ensure there are more survivors celebrating for years to come

[ACSCAN Florida @ACSCAN_Florida]

Earlier today, the Georgia Legislature sent a clear message: every patient, every physician & every affected family deserves access to Biomarker testing. In FL, we have the same opportunity w/HB805 & SB1218, but the question remains - will FL Legislators act before time runs out?

[Karen Knudsen, MBA PhD @DrKarenKnudsen]

Sending support from all of us @AmericanCancer to @RepRaskin as he begins treatment for his recent cancer diagnosis. Rep Raskin has been a longtime supporter of families impacted by cancer, federal funding for @NIH + @NCI, and improving access to care. #EveryCancerEveryLife

[ACS CAN New Mexico @ACSCANnm]

It's unjust to force a cancer patient to choose between curing their cancer or feeding their family. It's time for @SenSchumer & @Sen_JoeManchin to commit to keeping paid family and medical leave in the #BuildBackBetterAct.

[ACS CAN New Mexico @ACSCANnm]

Thank you for continuing to work with ACS CAN in reducing the burden of tobacco on New Mexicans.

[ACS CAN New Mexico @ACSCANnm]

Thank you to @SenatorLujan’s staff for taking the time to speak with our NM volunteers about cancer research funding, access, and prevention. We appreciate the Senator’s support in the fight against cancer! #Cancerlobbyday #ACSCAN @ACSCANnm

@rjferrary53 Sen. Martin Hickey @rogerfornm @proybalcaballer @jerryfornm @speakeregolf Sen. Nancy Rodriguez @lizthomsonnm

[ACS CAN New Mexico @ACSCANnm]

Thank you for continuing to support increasing the tobacco tax in NM. We appreciate your commitment to fighting cancer and protecting NM kids.

[ACS CAN New Mexico @ACSCANnm]

Thank you @NewMexicoOAG for calling on @FDATobacco to crack down on flavored, high-nicotine e-cigarettes. It’s time to protect NM kids!

[Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids @TobaccoFreeKids]

31 AGs are calling on @FDATobacco to crack down on flavored, high-nicotine e-cigarettes.

FDA faces a Sept. 9 deadline to decide which products can stay on the market. Authorizing Juul or any flavored e-cig would be a failure to protect the nation's kids. https://t.co/dTjWDeiI5M

Systemic racism is a public health crisis. We can't ignore the impact it has on BIPOC, including health disparities such as an increased cancer burden. ACS CAN is committed to addressing the structural and persistent barriers that for too long have perpetuated inequity.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

We welcome Dr. Karen E. Knudsen as the new CEO of ACS & ACS CAN. As an NCI-funded researcher and the head of a major cancer research institution, she knows firsthand the critical role gov plays in saving more lives from cancer, and the importance of funding for cancer research.

[ACS CAN New Mexico @ACSCANnm]

We still have grave concerns around allowing public consumption areas for recreational use, due to the dangers posed by secondhand smoke. We will be weighing in during the rule making process, pushing for the rights of all to breathe clean indoor air. https://t.co/FMshKsMJNZ

[ACS CAN New Mexico @ACSCANnm]

Since 2007, the state clean indoor air act has been protecting workers and citizens from secondhand smoke. Now some want to allow cannabis consumption zones that can ignore the law and expose us all over again! Help us keep NM smoke-free! https://t.co/AgR8O7lVoP
