Gyn cancer patients, survivors & supporters from nearly 40 states & Washington, DC, converged on Capitol Hill last week to advocate for additional research funding & new legislation to strengthen survivorship programs.
In an interview with @CTuckerNews for @NBCPhiladelphia during OCRA’s Advocacy Day, @JaneHeineDmo & her daughter Penelope discussed these asks & their importance for our community. More info: https://t.co/OWEPzeCSCO

A day of #advocacy on Capitol Hill with @ocrahope
We #advocated for support 4 the Multi-cancer Early Detection Act, restoring Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program funding & increasing funds for education and awareness @ CDC!
Next up was @SenFettermanPA ’s office. Thank you, Staffer Anna Keilly for your time, support & engagement.
So grateful for the amazing people who make up Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance OCRA I felt so ready for #tealaction thanks to your help!
Next up was @RepDwightEvans office, where Staffer Laura Guerra actively listened with such compassion, there were more than a few tears shed.🥰
Thank you Rep. Evans & crew for the support.
We even got to take the congressional train from the House to the Senate with Evans’ intern
First we gathered for a group photo & were then off to visit @RepHoulahan ’s office. Thank you for the photo & support, Chrissy! Her staffer Emma Zafran took time to chat & hear our stories & asks.
Asking my reps to pass the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act (S.339/H.R. 842)
Restore 57% funding cut to Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs
+$50M to fund the Ovarian Cancer Research Program within the CDMRP
Here in D.C. with @ocrahope & I’m learning so much, building incredible relationships & overwhelmed by the strength & wisdom of my fellow #TealWarriors
Tomorrow I head to the Hill to talk to my representatives.

The House will soon vote on a continuing resolution to fund government programs through the end of fiscal year 2025 (FY25). Ask Congress to vote no on this proposed legislation that would disrupt research into new therapeutics for ovarian cancer: https://t.co/piJugYOT3g.
Ask Congress to pass newly reintroduced legislation to allow for Medicare coverage of multi-cancer early detection tests: https://t.co/7UPia9Gk4C. #TealAction
@Yuxi_MSU@ARITZIA It is SO BAD. I never go to social media like this, but their customer service is horrible! It has been 6 business days since I first reported an issue (and 8 days total) to you. All I get are useless responses via email saying they will get back to me in 1-4 business days. AWFUL
@ARITZIA It has been 6 business days since I first reported an issue (and 8 days total) to you, Aritzia. All I get are useless responses via email saying you will get back to me in 1-4 business days. AWFUL customer service!!!!
@ARITZIA You did once, but I followed up with the information you requested & I’m now still waiting! I have spent hours trying to get help with this issue.
@ARITZIA I bought a coat & it was delivered VERY LATE (I was asleep) I searched my Ring after & saw someone stole it a few hours after delivery. I called, waited & waited for online chat, sent emails to [email protected], called a retailer (said they couldn’t help) etc.!
@JioniLewis I am so ready!🙏🎉❤️
I will do my darndest to stand up against the misogyny & racism that is sure to be out there, but I’m really hoping most Americans will see through the BS!
