Thanks to @RepMaloyUtah, @RepMikeKennedy & @BurgessOwens for meeting with @ACSCAN advocates from Utah last week. We had great discussions about cancer research funding and clinical trials. #CancerLobbyDay
We are also grateful to the offices of @SenJohnCurtis, @SenMikeLee, and @RepBlakeMoore for meeting with ACSCAN Utah advocates as well! It is always a pleasure to discuss our priorities with congressional staffers. #CancerLobbyDay

Over the past 25 years, we’ve mobilized hundreds of thousands of cancer advocates across every state and congressional district.
See the impact of millions of grassroots advocacy engagements on elevating patient voices, reducing disparities, and saving lives.

No one should have to pass up a clinical trial that could save their life because of where they live or how much money they make.
That’s why we need Congress to act. 📣 Send a message urging them to help more cancer patients participate in #ClinicalTrials act.fightcancer.org/a/urge-y…
We are wrapping up Volunteer Appreciation Month, and celebrating our wonderful Utah advocates today and every day! #ACSVolunteer #ACSCANVolunteer

Elevating voices of cancer patients & survivors drives impact. Proud to lead @ACSCAN work that touched 25 million+ lives in 2025 to strengthen prevention incl. tobacco control, defend access to care & increase funding for research & prevention programs. fightcancer.org/accomplishme…
What a great #UTCancerActionDay!
Huge thanks to all of the members of the #utleg who joined us for our "Not-So-Sweet 16" festivities, highlighting the 16 years since UT last increased the cigarette tax. #YesOnHB337 will finally address this issue, saving lives and state $$$
Increasing tobacco taxes is one of the most effective ways to reduce tobacco use, especially among kids.
Currently, in UT, smoking is attributed to more than 15% of cancer deaths, and $630 mil in annual health care costs including more than $135 mil in Medicaid costs. #utleg

Cancer sucks. Kudos to @annaleedrew and other @AmericanCancer Society volunteers for visiting the @UTStateCapitol and reminding us what we can do to help end this incredibly awful disease. #UTCancerActionDay. 🇺🇸

@BYUPublicHealth representing constituents at the Utah State Capitol to ask legislators to support HB 337, an increase in the tobacco tax. This strategy is one of the most effective way to prevent kids from starting and help adults quit. #UTCancerActionDay
ACS CAN Utah retweeted
The House just voted YES on the spending bill!
Grateful to lawmakers for advancing a powerful package that supports #CancerResearch and prevention through funding for @NIH, @theNCI + more, and #EarlyDetection through the #MCEDAct.
The bill now goes to the Senate for a vote.
The House is expected to vote on a spending bill this week that brings us closer to new treatments, earlier detection & more lives saved from cancer. But only if lawmakers follow through.
Send a message to your lawmaker now urging them to pass this bill ⬇️act.fightcancer.org/a/urge-y…
Join volunteers, activists, survivors and caregivers at the state capitol to tell lawmakers:
It’s time to get serious about fighting Big Tobacco and investing in cancer prevention.

We gathered cancer advocates nationwide to share their hope for the future of cancer cures. These hopes can become reality through #CancerResearch.
