@kidneycan.bsky.socialKidneyCAN Advocacy Days would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Thank you to the organizations helping make it possible for #KidneyCancer advocates to bring the needs of the kidney cancer community directly to policymakers.
@kidneycan.bsky.socialThe progress we've made didn't happen by accident. It was made possible by researchers pursuing new discoveries, patients participating in research, and advocates making sure #KidneyCancer remains part of the conversation in Washington.
@kidneycan.bsky.socialOur Virtual Advocacy Day is underway!
Today, #KidneyCancer advocates are connecting with congressional offices virtually to share their stories and speak up for the needs of patients, caregivers, and families affected by kidney cancer.
@kidneycan.bsky.socialThank you to everyone who joined KidneyCAN on Capitol Hill, shared their story, participated in meetings, and helped make the voice of the #KidneyCancer community heard! We are so grateful to have you alongside us.
The work isn't over yet—virtual Advocacy Day kicks off tomorrow!
@kidneycan.bsky.socialThe numbers tell an important story.
Every #KidneyCancer diagnosis represents a patient, a family, and a community impacted by this disease. Understanding the scope of kidney cancer helps show why continued progress in research, treatment, and patient support matters. 🧡
@kidneycan.bsky.socialWhat are we talking about on Capitol Hill today?
We're asking Congress to support three priorities. Behind every ask are patients waiting for more options, researchers pursuing the next discovery, & families hoping for more time. Today, we're making sure their voices are heard.
@kidneycan.bsky.socialAdvocacy in action! 🧡
Every conversation is an opportunity to make sure the #KidneyCancer community has a voice in Washington.
@kidneycan.bsky.socialDr. Michael Serzan explains why robust, sustained funding is essential to maintaining the research infrastructure that makes scientific progress possible, and what can be lost when that support isn't there.
@kidneycan.bsky.socialAdvocates are gathering in Washington, DC, this morning before heading to Capitol Hill to speak directly with members of Congress and their staff about the needs of the #KidneyCancer community.
Follow along today and tomorrow as we take that message to Capitol Hill.
@kidneycan.bsky.socialFrom your home to Capitol Hill, your voice can help protect the future of #KidneyCancer research.
