Get practical training, easy-to-use tools, and guidance to strengthen your voice in colorectal cancer advocacy.
Tools for Your Advocacy Journey
You’re in the right place if:
- You want to make an impact and increase federal funding for colorectal cancer research, screening, and treatment.
- You want to understand how advocacy drives change at both the local and national level.
- You’d like to connect personally with your members of Congress or their staff to share your story.
- You’re looking for facts, figures, and resources to strengthen your advocacy conversations.
Start Here: Advocate Academy
Our Advocate Academy is designed to get you started on your journey as a Fight CRC advocate. It lays out the groundwork for understanding why advocacy matters, and how your voice makes a difference. Most importantly, it shows how together, our community creates real change in policies that save lives.
Next Step: Keep Your Resources Handy
Your story is the most powerful advocacy tool you have — but pairing it with facts and data amplifies your impact. These resources serve as quick reference guides during meetings with lawmakers. Share them in conversations or leave them behind as a reminder of what we’re asking Congress to do to support colorectal cancer patients and families.
Finally: Advocate Throughout the Year
Advocacy doesn’t just happen in Washington, D.C. — it happens everywhere. Whether you’re meeting your member of Congress in their district office, attending a town hall, or raising awareness in your community, you are building relationships that drive progress. These resources make it simple to take action from home and keep the momentum going year-round.
