Every Lights of Hope bag represents a person, a friend, a family member, a loved one touched by cancer. Grateful for the power of our advocates to bring these stories into action to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. #LightsofHope #CancerLobbyDay

We’re on the Hill to #ProtectCancerCures! #CancerLobbyDay

Shoutout @acscan.bsky.social federal advocacy team! Together, we urge Congress to:

1) Support the highest possible funding for cancer research and prevention
2) Pass the #MCED Screening Coverage Act
3) Extend health care tax credits

See you on the Hill! #CancerLobbyDay

Affordable health care is at risk. These cuts will hurt millions of people, including cancer patients, and drive up health care costs for everyone. We can’t let this happen.

@vanhollen.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov can we count on you to vote NO? #ProtectAffordableCare #ProtectMedicaid

Cuts to affordable health care will hurt millions of hardworking people in America.

This includes cancer patients, survivors, and their families.

Tell your Senator, vote no!
#ProtectAffordableCare & #ProtectMedicaid

Important new @acscan.bsky.social survey data shows 1/3 of respondents reported being more than a year behind on recommending routine cancer screenings, the primary roadblock was affordability.

It was such a joy to join @acscan.bsky.social State Lead Ambassadors (SLAs), Vice SLAs, Volunteer Affinity Group leaders, & the ACS CAN team at #SLASummit2025, celebrating great progress. The leadership & relentless spirit of our people drive our impact for cancer patients & their families!

Cancer mortality rates dropped 49% for Black men & 33% for Black women since '91 but disparities remain, with Black people facing higher cancer risks & lower survival rates. @ACSCAN remains committed to reducing this inequitable burden. #CancerStats2025 t.co/QervIxjZdk

Without the workforce to drive essential HHS services & programs, active clinical trials could be abandoned, US drug shortages could worsen, time to review new treatments could lengthen, cancer prevention efforts & access to screenings could cut be off. www.fightcancer.org/releases/sig...

@acscan.bsky.social urges Congress to reject proposals to use Medicaid as a piggy bank to pay for other programs & prioritize the health & safety of their constituents by ensuring that those eligible for this critical program continue to have access without barriers.
