Pennsylvania Cancer Action Day 2025

We are looking forward to having you join us in Harrisburg on Tuesday, May 13th for our annual Cancer Action Day from 9-5pm! Survivors, advocates, caregivers, and more will come together from across the state to advocate for life-saving policies. No prior experience is needed, we will provide training and resources ahead of time and book lawmaker meetings for you. All you need to bring is your passion in the fight against cancer. See you at the Capitol!

Take a look at our training manual here to find information on our legislative asks, logistics, and more. The specific language for our asks are subject to change based on the progress of the bills. We will provide updates before Cancer Action Day!

In advance of Cancer Action Day, you are required to attend a virtual training hosted by the ACS CAN team. You selected a training date when you registered, but if something comes up and you need to change the date, please let Lydia know in advance.
