.@CMSGov's rule on #Medicaid work requirements makes it more difficult for people who are medically frail, including #CancerPatients, to be exempt. This adds a burdensome process and risks the loss of health insurance coverage—a matter of life or death. https://t.co/Ne6wanhsqL

Thank you to our @ACSCAN #CancerVotes ambassadors for attending the @kansasdems gubernatorial candidate forum with @ethancorson & @cindy4kansas! We’re working to educate candidates & the public about the role elected officials play in reducing the cancer burden for everyone.

It was a wonderful day at The University of Kansas Cancer Center Advocacy Day at the Capitol as we all came together to advocate for our patients and express gratitude for past victories! 🎉 It was also fantastic to witness the collaboration with American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network and Susan G. Komen Advocacy. Coalition building and working together towards common goals is so imperative when advocating for access to care! #Gratitude

Thank you Senator @JerryMoran for elevating #cancer issues in the FY26 appropriations bill. Cancer advocates in Kansas are grateful for your bipartisan commitment to the fight against cancer!

A bill that will expand access to breast cancer screenings in Kansas has been voted out of committee and needs to be debated on the Senate floor. Urge the Senate majority leader to bring the bill up for debate before the deadline on February 19th! https://t.co/35ZjTGIYhl #ksleg

[ACS CAN Kansas @KansasACSCAN]

This week, the KS Senate will hold hearings on a bill that would create additional burdens & red tape for Kansans trying to access programs like Medicaid. Tell lawmakers how this would impact Kansans facing cancer. https://t.co/GDAquprido

We are so proud of our @acscan legislative ambassador, Matthew Chen, for his feature in @kansascitymag about the incredible work he has done in the cancer research & advocacy space! We couldn’t do this work without volunteers like Matthew! https://t.co/ABXD4K73me

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 ❤️

This morning our lead volunteer, Stephanie Barr, helped deliver our 2026 legislative priorities to Kansas lawmakers. Are you interested in getting involved with our advocacy work? Sign up to get involved today! https://t.co/nd6ooPUPyb #ksleg #cancer #advocacy

The House is expected to vote on a spending bill this week that brings us closer to new treatments, earlier detection & more lives saved from cancer. But only if lawmakers follow through.

Send a message to your lawmaker now urging them to pass this bill ⬇️https://t.co/xhpDJg8C10

This week, #ksleg returned to Topeka for the start of the 2026 legislative session. Every decision made in the halls of our capitol can impact cancer patients, survivors, & families across KS. That’s why @ACSCAN is here, & why your voice matters.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

We gathered cancer advocates nationwide to share their hope for the future of cancer cures. These hopes can become reality through #CancerResearch.

Anne is here today because of advances in treatment made possible by cancer research funding. But this vital funding is now at risk. Read Anne's story: https://t.co/xSmOa8J1cd. @RogerMarshallMD will you #ProtectCancerCures in the full-year spending bill?

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Exciting day to highlight the critical importance of #CancerResearch funding @KUCancerCenter. Grateful to Sen. @JerryMoran for continuing to champion such important investment & to @NIHDirector_Jay for elevating America’s opportunity for continued leadership in the cancer fight.

Check out @AmericanCancer's documentary that sheds light on barriers that continue to perpetuate health disparities across Indigenous communities & highlights their leadership, resilience & advocacy in the fight against cancer. #IndigenousPeoplesDay (3/3) https://t.co/FtEF9Z5cEK

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Cancer affects everyone, but it doesn't affect everyone equally. That's why we advocate to improve affordable access to care & increased funding through @IHSgov & federal programs like the Initiative for Improving Native American Cancer Outcomes. #IndigenousPeoplesDay (2/3)
