Update: The House passed the EARLY Act Reauthorization—which includes the SCREENS for Cancer Act—advancing a critical initiative for breast cancer education, early detection and prevention for women.

We call on Congress to work together and get this across the finish line.

Good news: This week, the EARLY Act Reauthorization unanimously passed the @HouseCommerce @EnergyCommerce Committee!

This bill supports @CDC_Cancer programs and services that address the unique needs of young women with or at risk for #BreastCancer.

Cancer research saves lives, and the fight against cancer can't wait. @ChrisVanHollen, please pass a spending bill NOW to protect and increase funding for lifesaving cancer research and prevention. Advocates with @acscan need you to #ProtectCancerCures.

President Trump has threatened the Washington Commanders football team, stating he will not facilitate a deal for the team's new stadium to be built in Washington, D.C., if it does not revert to its former name. https://t.co/gNtXjK0GbK

Medicaid provides essential health coverage to people across the country, including those with cancer. Any cuts to Medicaid could jeopardize lifesaving care for millions of cancer patients. @RepKweisiMfume, can I count on you to oppose cuts & #ProtectMedicaid?

[Linda Cookingham @cookinls1]

The budget bill under consideration in the U.S. Senate would kick nearly 11 million people off their health insurance and raise health care costs for all of us. @ChrisVanHollen, vote NO to #ProtectMedicaid and #ProtectAffordableCare!

Today the House introduced the bipartisan #SCREENSForCancerAct! We support immediate passage of this critical legislation to ensure the #NBCCEDP has the resources needed to continue providing access to lifesaving screening, diagnostic & treatment services. https://t.co/n0frtTUkgH

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

🚨The House is expected to vote on a bill this week that would decimate #Medicaid, which provides lifesaving health coverage to 80 million people in America, including cancer patients & survivors.

Urge your Representative to vote NO on these drastic cuts: https://t.co/CA9KXTZYKc

#Medicaid is under attack.

Despite its vital role in the fight against cancer, some members of Congress are considering cuts to this lifesaving program.

.@ChrisVanHollen cancer can't wait! Please pass year-end legislation to increase funding for cancer research, create a pathway for Medicare to cover multi-cancer early detection tests once FDA-approved & clinical benefit is shown, and support breast & cervical cancer screenings.

We're on Capitol Hill today with ACS CAN volunteers for the @WaysandMeansGOP @WaysMeansCmte mark-up of the #MCEDAct!

Early cancer detection can save lives. With 1 million Medicare enrollees expected to be diagnosed with cancer this year, it's urgent Congress pass this bill.

[Linda Cookingham @cookinls1]

With 2 million+ expected cancer diagnoses this year in the U.S., cancer touches everyone. @DanaBashCNN, cancer should be a topic at this week's #PresidentialDebate. Please ask how the candidates would end cancer as we know it, for everyone, if elected. #CancerVotes
