Fight Back Against Cancer this October

Cancer effects us all, but no one is truely powerless in the effort to end this disease. Now is your chance to Fight Back and let your voice be heard.

Taking part in ACS CAN's legislative campaigns on the national, state and local level is fun and easy to do. There are activities and issues that we focus on year-round, and you can help to lead our campaigns to victory.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month-- celebrating the powerful women who battle every day against this terrible disease.

All women deserve access to a mammogram. Yet millions of women are going without lifesaving breast cancer screenings and treatment because they are uninsured or simply can't afford it. Last year, Congress provided funding for only 1 in 5 of these women to get mammograms through a community-based program run by the CDC.

Tell Congress that all women deserve access to a mammogram. Sign the petition!

Then help us spread the word throughout your social networks, family and friends so they can take action too.
