In 2025, thanks to the enormous power of volunteers, ACS CAN impacted more than 25 million lives through advocacy work.
Explore our annual Advocacy Accomplishments Report to see how our collective voices were the catalyst for lifesaving public policy victories critical to the fight against cancer ⬇️
The President’s new budget proposal calls for cuts to medical research funding, falling short of what patients need & would lead to missed opportunities for cancer breakthroughs.
Send a message to your lawmakers urging them to invest in #CancerResearch.
The administration released its proposed budget for FY2027, which includes funding reductions to the National Institutes of Health of approximately 12%.
We're calling on Congress to maintain its longstanding bipartisan commitment to robust, increased investments in #CancerResearch and prevention.
Inspiring meeting with over 80 community health workers, talking about my #gastricCancer research & providing information & resources to improve early detection + patient outcomes. Thanks @acscan.bsky.social @medicalcollegeofwi.bsky.social #cancerResearch @mcwpharm-tox.bsky.social
Such a great day yesterday advocating with @acscan.bsky.social at #macancerlobbyday. I spent the day zig zagging through the MA State House to talk with House leadership about why we need to pass the #biomarkerlegislation now in MA.
In a tough year for public health, @acscan.bsky.social ACS CAN has made a positive impact. Read about our accomplishments and join us to advocate for a world where we end cancer as we know it for everyone. www.fightcancer.org/advocacy-acc...

We’re urging lawmakers at every level of government to prioritize access to comprehensive, affordable #HealthCare. (2/2)
Since 2010, the #AffordableCareAct has provided millions across the country with health coverage.
But rising health care costs and the expiration of enhanced health care tax credits have caused health insurance premiums to spike. Many can no longer afford their plans. (1/2)

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 ❤️
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, we’re 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 ⬇️ Make sure they know where you stand!
Thank you to the Congressional Appropriations Committees for championing #CancerResearch in the FY26 year-end bill!
We’re 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.
That’s 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.
#ProtectCancerCures #CancerAdvocacy #CancerResearch #TrustFall
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
