🌸 June is Uterine Cancer Awareness Month 🌸

Uterine (endometrial) cancer is one of the most common gynecologic cancers, but knowing the signs and risks can save lives. This month, let’s spread the word, promote early detection, and support the incredible survivors and patients in our community.

What to watch for (Early Warning Signs):

Unusual vaginal bleeding (especially after menopause)

Persistent pelvic pain

Other ongoing, unusual changes in your body

🔍 Key Risk Factors:
While anyone with a uterus can develop it, factors like obesity, aging, family history, reproductive history, and prolonged estrogen exposure can increase your risk.

Steps you can take today:
You can actively reduce your risk by committing to a healthy lifestyle. Focus on eating nutritious meals, staying active, and maintaining a healthy weight.

When to see a doctor: If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these symptoms especially if you've gone through menopause or have known risk factors, please don't wait. Schedule a prompt medical evaluation. Early diagnosis makes all the difference!

Did you know? More Tennessee families may now qualify for SNAP benefits.

A major policy change is making it easier for working families to access food assistance while building financial stability.

Higher income limits
Asset limits removed
Families can save money without losing benefits
Helps reduce the "benefits cliff" that punishes people for earning more

For too long, many working families faced impossible choices between accepting a raise and keeping food assistance. This new policy helps create a pathway to economic mobility while ensuring families can still put food on the table.

Question: Have you or someone you know ever been impacted by the benefits cliff? What changes would help working families thrive in Tennessee?

FDR called the Social Security Act a "cornerstone... which is being built but is by no means complete." Since then, Americans have built on that foundation with Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA, ensuring greater security for millions.

But today, these gains are under threat. As we contemplate life after Trump, we cannot afford to return to the status quo. We must demand the next step in the New Deal vision. We must pass Medicare for All!
