Fight Back Against Cancer this April

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 campaigns that we focus on year-round, and you can help to lead our campaigns to victory.

Here are two activities you can do in April to keep you and your fellow advocates engaged in our campaigns:
Read more about the just passed health care reform bills and how they will impact the fight against cancer. Learn how your Member of Congress voted. Make a call to thank those Members who voted in favor of reform, and to let those who didn't know how disappointed you are.

Join us on facebook. Are you on facebook? If so, consider becoming a member of our group, American Cancer Society Eastern Division Advocacy. We are New York and New Jersey volunteers and staff working to reduce the burden of cancer through legislative change. Our facebook group is designed to help you engage your online friends in our efforts encouraging lawmakers and candidates to support laws and policies that will help make cancer a top priority in our two states. We hope you will join us!
