Cancer Advocacy Now!™
Grassroots efforts are one of the most important parts of legislative campaigns. Let’s face it: your legislators in the House and Senate want to keep their jobs on Capitol Hill, and that means keeping their constituents (you!) happy. That’s why they pay very close attention to the views, concerns, and demands of the people who live in their districts.
Telling your story is powerful, but that alone won’t change a legislator’s vote. You must demonstrate that an issue is in the national interest, that it will impact the district and nation and that there is already wide support among constituents. By joining the Cancer Advocacy Now! Network, cancer survivors can band together to keep up to date on news about treatments, policies, and research; learn about NCCS lobbying campaigns, share information, and come together as one powerful voice to communicate concerns about cancer care policy.
