It's clear: cancer research saves lives. Congress has a role to play in the fight against cancer: they can and should increase funding for cancer research funding. Sign the petition and join the fight.

Tell us the feedback you are getting from lawmakers and their staff. This will help us have a more effective strategy going forward.

I want to join the fight to save more lives from cancer. Even in a pandemic, cancer doesn't stop. An estimated 1.8 million people in the U.S. were diagnosed with cancer in 2020. Every major breakthrough in the fight against cancer has involved federal research funding, and we need more breakthroughs.

As Congress negotiates a final budget for the coming year, it's critical that they make fighting cancer a top priority.

Ask Congress to provide funding to restart cancer clinical trials that were halted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
