I'm a bit late, but your ACS CAN advocates were busy in DC today! Please join them by calling your Member of Congress (DC or local office) and ask them to protect cancer research. They have to finalize a budget by September 30, so please make your voice heard. Feel free to use the script below

Congress has just weeks to pass a bill to continue funding the gov't. Funding for vital cancer research & prevention programs is at risk.

Watch this video to learn why sustained investment in research is critical. Then, send a message to your members of Congress & urge them to #ProtectCancerCures:

Federal funding for cancer research is at risk. Congress must help protect it.

ACS CAN is the leading cancer advocacy organization that is working every day to make cancer issues a national priority.

#MCED tests could help give more people a better chance to survive and thrive.

Share this post to help spread the word about this incredible advancement. We’ll share more soon about how Congress can play a role in making sure these tests reach the people who need them most. (2/2)

Did you know that scientists are developing new, simple blood tests that will screen for dozens of cancers at once?

Diagnosing cancer early, when it’s easier to treat, can save lives. That’s why these multi-cancer early detection (#MCED) tests hold so much promise. (1/2)
