How You Can Help

Legislative advocacy in the cancer community can be as simple as showing support or voicing concern for public policy initiatives related to cancer care and research. To do this, we may ask you to reach out to your elected representatives with a phone call, email, or letter.

Find your federal and state representatives

If you're not sure who your elected officials are, visit congress.org and enter your ZIP code. You'll get a quick list of your state and federal legislators, including ways to contact them.

Register to vote

One of the most effective ways to ensure that your voice is heard is by exercising your right to vote. If you're not registered to vote, these resources can help:

• For Massachusetts residents, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Elections Division offers a downloadable, mail-in registration form, as well as information on getting an absentee ballot.
• For residents of most other states, the Rock the Vote site offers information and downloadable voter registration forms.
