The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network is bringing the Fight Back Express bus to an area near you!
The Fight Back Express bus is part of a 48-state tour to give YOU a voice! Cancer will kill an estimated 565,650 people in America this year and the government needs to realize that the American public cares about preventing this disease. ACS CAN is sponsoring the bus tour to highlight the crucial role elected officials play in supporting laws and policies that help people fight cancer.
At each bus stop visitors have the chance to share their story with their Members of Congress through the Picture A Cure program and sign a petition to support access to quality health care for all Americans.
