Our annual Day at the Capitol is a time for those touched by cancer to come together, share our stories and talk with elected officials about making the fight against cancer a priority in our state.
Even if you are new to advocacy or haven't met your legislators yet, we'll make sure you know everything you need to know! And you won’t be alone when visiting your legislator, you will be teamed up with a group of fellow volunteers.
Registration & Breakfast: 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.
Program & Meetings 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Mission Statement
The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) is making cancer a top priority for public officials and candidates at the federal, state and local levels. ACS CAN empowers advocates across the country to make their voices heard and influence evidence-based public policy change as well as legislative and regulatory solutions that will reduce the cancer burden.

Description
If we are to succeed in our mission to end suffering and death from cancer, it won't just happen in the doctor's office or research lab. This movement must start at the statehouse and in Congress. And, it will be led by volunteers - regular people whose lives have been impacted by cancer - rallying together to demand change from their elected officials.
We are the organization empowering volunteers to do just that - influence change and impact the future of cancer. From gaining dramatic increases in funding for cancer research to ensuring all Americans have access to cancer care, our work is saving lives and leading to new innovative breakthroughs in how to fight this disease.
