ADVOCACY CHAIR FOR FOUNTAIN VALLEY RELAY FOR LIFE
 
  The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network is the nonprofit, nonpartisan sister advocacy organization of the American Cancer Society.  ACS CAN is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major public health problem through issue campaigns and voter education aimed at influencing lawmakers and candidates to support laws and policies that will help people fight cancer.  ACS CAN does not endorse candidates and is not a political action committee (PAC).
You Can Be Empowered
  Conquering cancer is as much a matter of public policy as scientific discovery. ACS CAN is leading a nationwide grassroots army that advances the cancer community’s interests at all levels of government.  ACS CAN’s determined advocates put a face on cancer and work to ensure that the 10.5 million survivors of this dreaded disease are seen and heard by lawmakers and elected officials.
  Are you one of the countless Americans whose life has been touched by cancer? ACS CAN empowers you to take actions that save lives.  ACS CAN builds on the more than 90 years of excellence of its sister organization, the American Cancer Society.  As the Society’s advocacy and lobbying arm, ACS CAN provides the muscle necessary to bring attention to issues related to research funding, access to quality care, prevention, early detection, and treatment.
  ACS CAN also helps voters make informed decisions by serving as a trusted source of information about candidate positions on cancer-related concerns and on key issue campaigns like enacting smoke-free workplace laws across the country.  ACS CAN gives hope and power to everyone who cares about cancer and wants their government to act. Together, we CAN make our voices heard. Together, we CAN defeat cancer www.acscan.org .
