Congress just passed the most impactful cancer-fighting bill in years thanks to advocates like you who refused to back down!
Your advocacy made a difference. This bill means more people can be screened for #cancer earlier, get treatment sooner & have a better chance to survive & thrive. Thank you โค๏ธ
URGENT: U.S. Senators are expected to vote *today* on a critical bill that, if passed, will be the most impactful cancer-fighting bill Congress has approved in years.
Send a message to your Senators now and urge them to vote YES on this bill to help save more lives from #cancer.
For our January Volunteer Spotlight, weโre thrilled to highlight Samantha Gonzales-Russell, ACT Lead with ACS CAN Nevada. As a 3x time #CervicalCancer survivor, Samantha is excited to help share @americancancersoc.bsky.social new guidelines on self-collection for cervical cancer screenings!
The House just voted YES on the spending bill!
Grateful to lawmakers for advancing a powerful package that supports #CancerResearch and prevention through funding for the NIH, the NCI + more, and #EarlyDetection through the #MCEDAct.
The bill now goes to the Senate for a vote next week.
The House is expected to vote on a spending bill this week that brings us closer to new treatments, earlier detection & more lives saved from cancer. But only if lawmakers follow through.
Send a message to your Representative now urging them to pass this bill โฌ๏ธ Make sure they know where you stand!
Thank you to the Congressional Appropriations Committees for championing #CancerResearch in the FY26 year-end bill!
Weโre also grateful to the lead sponsors of the #MCEDAct, included in the bill.
We urge Congress to pass this package to support early detection and accelerate lifesaving cures.
We gathered cancer advocates nationwide to share their hope for the future of cancer cures. These hopes can become a reality via #CancerResearch.
Thatโs why we need Congress to act. Send a message urging them to prioritize lifesaving cancer research in the spending bill: go.fightcancer.org/4qqhK7W

Falling? Optional. Funding cancer research? Essential.

Over 50,000 people have signed our petition in support of #CancerResearch funding. ACS CAN volunteers delivered petitions to lawmakers at their local offices & shared why this funding matters. Congress must pass a full-year spending bill that protects & increases cancer research & prevention funding
ACS CAN requested that the FDA be transparent about this pilot program to ensure it meets the rigorous standards required under the law and truly serves the interests of public health. We urge the FDA to reconsider this action and put the health and safety of young people first. (3/3)
Youth use of nicotine pouches has more than doubled in recent years, and these products are now among the most commonly used tobacco products by U.S. youth. This rapid uptake has been fueled in large part by youth-appealing flavors. (2/3)
The FDAโs recent issuance of marketing orders for six nicotine pouches, including four flavored products, under its new pilot program, directly undermines our nationโs goal of protecting young people from addictive and harmful tobacco products. (1/3)
Every breakthrough in cancer treatment and prevention has started with federal funding. We can't jeopardize progress and undermine decades of momentum.
Today, cancer advocates are coming together to urge their Senators to pass a full-year spending bill to #ProtectCancerCures.
Enhanced health care tax credits lower the cost of health insurance for 20 million+ Americans, but they will expire at the end of the year. If Congress doesnโt act soon, more than 4 million peopleโincluding cancer patientsโwill lose health coverage, and costs will skyrocket. #HealthNotHikes
For our December Volunteer Spotlight, we're thrilled to highlight Tammy Moyle, State Lead Ambassador for ACS CAN Nevada. She has helped build an involved team in Nevada, leading volunteers who worked hard all year to advocate for affordable health care & increased cancer research.
Thank you to Sandra from @padilla.senate.govโs office for meeting with me last week to accept petitions from thousands of Californians urging Congress to protect cancer research funding! @acscan.bsky.social #ProtectCancerCures
โ ๏ธ On Jan. 1, millions of people in the U.S. will face skyrocketing health care costs. Monthly premiums could double or triple. Many cancer patients may no longer be able to afford their care.
We can stop this. Call your members of Congress & urge them to extend the enhanced health care tax credits.
The U.S. House has unanimously passed the Mikaela Naylon #GiveKidsAChanceAct, legislation that will accelerate pediatric cancer treatments & expand access to life-saving therapies for children battling rare diseases. ACS CAN urges the Senate to swiftly pass this bill.
Your gift to ACS CAN this #GivingTuesday isnโt just a donationโitโs a spark that fuels change in the fight against cancer.
Today, every dollar you donate will be matched up to $30,000, doubling your impact when it matters most.
Together, we can turn the tide and help save lives from cancer.
After the longest government shutdown in history, Congress is back at work negotiating its next spending bill.
Let's remind them of what matters: funding the research & prevention that saves lives from cancer.
Send a message urging them to protect & increase funding for lifesaving #CancerResearch.
After losing his brother Ronil to an aggressive brain cancer, @acscan.bsky.social Sahil Mehta began advocating for stronger support for childhood cancer research. Read his story here: bit.ly/3Ka2QTb
The #MCEDAct hit 400 cosponsors today!
As the most-supported bill in Congress, there's overwhelming bipartisan support to get this important legislation over the finish line. ๐ช
If passed, it could help innovative cancer #EarlyDetection tests reach more people who need them.
If the enhanced health care tax credits expire, more than 20 million people in America will face surging health care costs, and 4.2 million will be priced out of health insurance.
Send a message now urging Congress to help keep #HealthInsurance within reach by extending health care #TaxCredits.
Hundreds of volunteer advocates put partisan differences aside and pressed Congress to help people with cancer. The advocacy came just before the stalemate that has shut down the federal government. n.pr/47qPvh8
