Today, we joined organizations representing millions of cancer patients, survivors, and providers to send a letter to @HHSGov @SecKennedy about the importance of the #USPSTF in the fight against cancer, urging protection for the integrity of its work. https://t.co/IXEmIl4bSA

Tens of thousands of Nebraskans will still lose their health insurance, even though they shouldn’t. We are talking about workers, caregivers, and people with disabling health conditions and others...

Time is "very important in the life of a cancer patient or a cancer survivor," Kalmer said.

The IA legislature (state is #2 in cancer incidence rates) just passed a bill to restrict access to the HPV vaccine. Up to 90% of cervical cancers can be prevented through HPV vaccination. Gov Reynolds must veto this bad bill. #ialeg #ialegis

Today, @GovEvers signed legislation extending Medicaid eligibility for postpartum women to 12 months! WI now joins 48 other states in expanding access to health care for new moms. This win for thousands of Wisconsinites is the result of years of persistent advocacy.

Deming spoke in support of the $1.50 increase, saying “if the tax rate is too low, it won’t actually get people to stop smoking or prevent people from starting.”

“But raising the tobacco tax is the single most impactful public health intervention, period, across the board, that has been shown to save lives, reduce cancer, reduce cancer deaths.”

"Iowa’s status among the states with the highest cancer rates is the best argument for raising the tobacco tax. There’s no good reason to delay. It could save lives."

[Michael DuPré @MDFightsCancer]

I could not be more proud of our tireless @ACSCANWisconsin advocates and volunteers in who made this happen. Deb Nevels lets us know why Gail's Law matters and why it will save lives. https://t.co/G6wd0EimPU

Great news for Wisconsin! Gail's Law heads to the governor's desk. This bill will save lives. https://t.co/mR8zZ7DHcO

[Michael DuPré @MDFightsCancer]

There is so much support for this life-saving bill across Wisconsin! Cancer advocates are asking their Assembly members to pass Gail's Law this week before they go home for the year. https://t.co/cFzXJ6LkGD

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!

“With Iowa's high cancer rates, we really should be a leader in the nation, taking evidence-based steps to reduce our rates.” That's why @ACSCANIowa and Iowa's health advocacy organizations are firmly pushing for $1.50 per pack increase in the House Bill.

"Data shows that the tax hike needs to be that high [an increase of $1.50/pack with an equivalent tax on all tobacco products] to meaningfully reduce deaths in Iowa."

[ACS CAN Kansas @KansasACSCAN]

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
