Welcome to the Virtual Cancer Action Day in New York City Resource Center!
It's time to register for our 2026 NYC Virtual Cancer Action Day being held on Tuesday, March 24, 2026!
Virtual Cancer Action Day is a time to ask our city council members, from the comfort of your own home, to make fighting cancer a top priority. It is our volunteers who bring a human connection to cancer and show our city council members that it is their constituents, not just a statistic, that cancer affects. Telling your story is our superpower and how we can make change. On this page you will find pertinent information about the event, how to register, training materials and event materials.
For more information, please contact Becca Oechsner at [email protected]. Thank you for your interest and we can't wait to advocate with you!
