[Lisa Lacasse @LLacasseACSCAN]

Incredibly proud of our impact together.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Over the past 25 years, we’ve mobilized hundreds of thousands of cancer advocates across every state and congressional district.

See the impact of millions of grassroots advocacy engagements on elevating patient voices, reducing disparities, and saving lives.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Cancer patients can’t wait for cures. Reports of a proposed new layer of review over @NIH grants raise serious concerns about delays to lifesaving #CancerResearch. Decisions about research funding must be guided by science and evidence—not politics. https://t.co/pDYbOwzw0V

And they’re off! Cancer advocates head to Capitol Hill to attend meetings with their members of Congress. The best way to get there? @wmata, of course! Just like the locals ✨

#CancerLobbyDay

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Over 750 cancer advocates are heading to Capitol Hill to make cancer a national priority. 💙

At #CancerLobbyDay, they will urge Congress to increase funding for cancer research & prevention and expand access to clinical trials.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

It's our 25th birthday! 🎉

Since 2001, hundreds of thousands of advocates across the country have raised their voices to make cancer a national priority.

See what we’ve accomplished together in cancer research and prevention, access to care and more: https://t.co/9T8othRdrG

[Lisa Lacasse @LLacasseACSCAN]

Today @ACSCAN is celebrating its 25th birthday! All we've accomplished has been possible because of countless advocates, colleagues and volunteers who've made a tremendous impact on the lives of millions of people through public policy advocacy. https://t.co/7Cfhw1bAYH

[Lisa Lacasse @LLacasseACSCAN]

Preserving strong childhood immunization systems is critical to protecting public health and safeguarding progress against cancer. @ACSCAN is concerned yesterday's executive order could create confusion for families and weaken public health. https://t.co/VdCis97wSX…

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

On the 61st anniversary of #Medicaid, our latest survey finds nearly all cancer patients and survivors surveyed would not have been able to meet new Medicaid #WorkRequirements, and many report concerns about losing coverage. https://t.co/pmgH3Gql6h

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

📢 Nearly 5,000 advocates have spoken up to help more cancer patients participate in clinical trials.

📞 There’s still time to take action. Will you call your senators and urge them to make cancer #ClinicalTrials more accessible? https://t.co/BiO6sUPPrw

The @FDATobacco just authorized four new flavored nicotine pouches, compromising the fight against cancer & threatening to sustain youth nicotine use.

In the U.S., one-third of all cancer deaths are a result of tobacco use, and tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death.

[Lisa Lacasse @LLacasseACSCAN]

This new policy risks reversing decades of hard-fought progress in reducing youth tobacco use, which we've fought for tirelessly. As organizations and individuals committed to protecting the health of America’s young people, we cannot allow this to happen.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

A new FDA policy allows e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches—including kid-friendly flavors—to be sold without the scientific review and marketing authorization required by law. This threatens our hard-won progress reducing youth tobacco use.
