@acscan.bsky.socialAdvocates like you pushed back on a proposal that would have added a new layer of political review for cancer research grants. While officials have backed away from this for now, threats to cancer research continue.

@acscan.bsky.socialA new proposal would let politics, not science, influence which #CancerResearch grants get funded.
This could jeopardize new treatments and cures for cancer patients.
Take action now and send a message telling Congress to keep politics out of cancer research.
@kim.senate.govReposted by @acscan.bsky.socialIt's always great to see New Jerseyans around the Capitol! @acscan.bsky.social does incredible work to support families facing cancer all across this country.
We must increase funding for cancer research and access to clinical trials. It's how we'll finally find a cure.
@acscan.bsky.socialIt’s back-to-school season, and Big Tobacco is back to business as usual, targeting kids.
Save and share to help spread the word about reducing tobacco use in the fight against cancer.
@repericsorensen.bsky.socialReposted by @acscan.bsky.socialGlad to host Illinois Members of @acscan.bsky.social for a discussion about our ongoing commitment to ending cancer as we know it.
I was also glad to meet Jacob, a two-time cancer survivor from Silvis! His story is an inspiration to me, and it was an honor to welcome him to the Capitol.

@magaziner.house.govReposted by @acscan.bsky.socialMet with the @acscan.bsky.social this afternoon about federal funding for cancer research.
Cancer touches many in our country, and we must fund research for cures.
@reed.senate.govReposted by @acscan.bsky.socialMet with RI reps from @acscan.bsky.social to discuss importance of #cancerresearch funding & care. Thanks to all the advocates for sharing their stories & urging Congress to act!

Our advocates have already had some great discussions about our legislative asks: 1️⃣ support the highest possible funding for #CancerResearch and prevention programs, and 2️⃣ cosponsor the #ClinicalTrial Modernization Act.
@acscan.bsky.socialAnd they’re off! Cancer advocates head to Capitol Hill to attend meetings with their members of Congress. The best way to get there? @wmata.com, of course! Just like the locals ✨
