Thank you to our DC based volunteers for coming out and delivering over 700 postcards in support of the #PSAforHIMAct

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Our staff and volunteers delivered some of the 700+ postcards that ACS CAN volunteers have sent in, which urge their Senators to co-sponsor the #PSAForHIMAct. Take a look at them in action on Capitol Hill!

The evidence is clear. We're calling on the @WhiteHouse to prohibit the sale of menthol cigarettes and menthol-flavored cigars now.

The ACS CAN DC team was proud to join this march and advocate for this public health initiative to #BanMentol

[ActionSmoking&Health @AshOrg]

Today, we were honored to join @aatclc and countless partners to march to the @WhiteHouse and call on @POTUS @JoeBiden to prioritize public health by finalizing the rule to #BanMenthol.

Lives are hanging in the balance. We have no time to delay. 1/6

Detecting cancer early can be the difference between life and death.

This week the Senate introduced the #MCEDAct, which would allow Medicare to cover multi-cancer screening tests once FDA-approved and proven to have clinical benefit. https://t.co/Ep83G6Osvf

Happy Pride Month! We had such a great time at @CapitalPride earlier this month, talking to folks about the cancer-fighting advocacy work @ACSCAN is doing in the district and across the nation.

#PCHETA seeks to provide an extra layer of support for patients and families from diagnosis onwards. We're proud to be part of this coalition advocating for patient quality of life, and a huge thank you to everyone working to further our collective mission on this #PQLCLobbyDay!

Programs like the CDC’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (#NBCCEDP) are critical to addressing health inequities and reducing the cancer burden. We're urging Congress to continue prioritizing robust funding for cancer prevention & research.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

At ACS CAN, we're also advocating for the #PSAForHIMAct, which would remove a significant barrier that prevents some Black individuals at high risk for #ProstateCancer from getting care at earlier, more treatable stages when survival is more likely.

Today we celebrate #Juneteenth, which marks the end of slavery in the US & commemorates the independence of Black Americans. Juneteenth is also a reminder of the importance of our lifesaving work for all. We're asking our teams to listen, learn & support the Black community.

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

The desire to end #cancer is one thing all political leaders can agree on. Congress must invest in the @NIH, which is vital to ensuring better health for families in every community across the country. Read the op-ed endorsed by @AmerCancerCEO and others: https://t.co/S7dzmrl8NA

We're at @CapitalPrideDC today! Come say hello ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[ACSCAN Maryland @ACSCAN_MD]

Biomarker testing was instrumental in helping Hilary get the right treatment for her cancer. ACS CAN is proud to have advocated for the recently passed legislation (SB805) that will remove barriers to biomarker testing in Maryland.

@ACSCAN continues our fight to expand healthcare to the more than 2M people caught in a coverage gap because their elected officials have refused to expand Medicaid. Learn more at https://t.co/hKZZLqbe06 and Join Us to elevate your voice! #ASCO2023 @AmericanCancer

BREAKING: Congress passed the #DebtCeiling. It heads to POTUS for signature.

A win for cancer patients & families, it protects access to affordable health insurance under #Medicaid w/o passing work requirements & avoids spending cuts + limits caps that can impact #CancerResearch
