Thank you Representative for elevating issues in the FY26 appropriations bill. Cancer advocates in Connecticut are grateful for your bipartisan commitment to the fight against cancer!

Moments ago, Congress passed the most impactful cancer-fighting bill in years. It happened thanks to cancer advocates like you who refused to back down!

Together, you sent more than 120,000 messages, made phone calls, and took to social media to urge lawmakers to reject cuts and invest in cancer research. They heard you, and they did.

Your advocacy made a difference: This bill becoming law means more people can be screened for cancer earlier, get treatment sooner, and have a better chance to survive and thrive.

Thank you for everything you do. ❤️

Kudos to our Vice SLA Maddi Petrow who, with former ACT Lead John Brannelly, helped secure a speaker for Trinity Hillel's 19th Annual Pink Shabbat.
