On Aug. 17, join us for a doc screening that highlights Black St. Louisans & explores how generations of policies—including segregation & disinvestment—have shaped the city's predominantly Black neighborhoods, including health & #cancer outcomes.

The Sacramento City Council voted to end an exemption that allowed new tobacco retailers to bypass local restrictions by dedicating a small amount of shelf space to “healthy foods.”
More on why we applaud ending this loophole for tobacco sales here: bit.ly/44KdNla
The SF Board of Supervisors Land Use and Transportation Committee voted to continue a proposed ordinance that would have made bar patios smoke-free to protect workers, patrons and nearby residents from secondhand smoke. Read our statement here: bit.ly/3SwnJf1

An alarming trend is surfacing: the re-glamorization of tobacco use, driven by the tobacco industry.
Research shows that media exposure to smoking imagery among young people makes them more likely to start using tobacco products like cigarettes and e-cigarettes.
Thank you to @MattMahanSJ for completing @ACSCAN’s candidate questionnaire to share where you stand on important cancer issues! We’re urging other candidates in this race to answer the questionnaire so voters know you’ll prioritize cancer patients if elected.
Excited to see Daniel Garibay Rodriguez at the Merced County Farm Bureau Candidate Forum and ask him questions about where he stands on important cancer issues. We would love to see where @AdamGrayCA, @vin4congress & @KevinLincolnCA stand on important cancer issues. #CancerVotes
The CA Senate passed the Stop Lung Cancer Early Act, which would help ensure more Californians do not delay or skip medically needed follow-up screenings and diagnostic services due to cost. Our statement release here: bit.ly/4dCXlY2

The Clinical Trial Modernization Act was recently introduced in the Senate. The bill would help reduce cost & geographic barriers, making it easier for patients to take part in #ClinicalTrials. This is essential to reducing the cancer burden for everyone. fightcancer.org/releases/bip…
We would love to see where @DrJasmeetBains and @dgvaladao stand on important cancer issues. #CancerVotes
We were excited to see @Villegas_CA22 at the United for the Valley Candidate Forum and have a chance to ask him questions about where he stands on important cancer issues #CancerVotes
Happy #NationalVolunteerAppreciation week & thank you California volunteers for all you do! It is such a privilege to work alongside you and we deeply appreciate everything you do to help reduce the cancer burden for everyone!
Former NFL linebacker Chris Draft and ACS CAN CA SLA Laura LaRose are at the State Capitol to testify in support of a bill that could help save lives from lung cancer.
SB 1309 would ensure that people at high risk can access follow-up #lungcancerscreening and diagnostic services without out-of-pocket costs, removing a major barrier to early detection.
We’re grateful to @SenSusanRubio for her leadership in introducing this critical legislation. Now it’s time for the #CALeg to act!
No one should have to delay or skip lifesaving screenings because of cost. Let’s make early detection accessible for all Californians!
