Take Action Now!

See if your Senators and Representative have signed the letters in support of the National Plan to Advance Pancreatic Cancer Research and follow up with them

During our Advocacy Day on March 11, we asked U.S. Representatives to sign the Eshoo-Platts-Cummings letter and asked U.S. Senators to sign the Feinstein-Smith letter

By signing the letters, Members of Congress went on record in support of the National Plan to Advance Pancreatic Cancer Research and in support of providing at least a 9.5% increase for the National Cancer Institute. We are very pleased to announce that 68 Representatives and 36 Senators agreed to sign the letters.

This is a major accomplishment. Thank you to all who helped make it happen! However, our work is not yet done. Asking our Members of Congress to take action is only half of the battle. We also need them to know that we are paying attention to whether they did what we asked. We need to thank Senators and Representatives that have done what we asked and express our disappointment to those who didn’t.

Use the links below to get connected to our email system that will automatically generate a thank you note if your Member(s) have signed the letter and a note expressing your disappointment if they have not done so. Responding to this Action Alert will only take a few minutes, but will make a significant impact on our ability to make the pancreatic cancer community heard. Don’t forget to personalize the e-mail by briefly adding your story.
