Colorectal Cancer Caucus
Our Priority:
Build a group of relentless champions for the colorectal cancer community in Congress.
Why This is Important:
- Every state and district in the U.S. is impacted by colorectal cancer. To change federal policy, we need members of Congress to fight for us in Washington, D.C.
- Bringing members of Congress together around a cause helps to generate energy and momentum for policy change.
- Members of Congress can become advocates for colorectal cancer and help educate and gather support from their colleagues on policies important to the colorectal cancer community.
What We Are Doing:
Asking every member of Congress to join the Congressional Colorectal Cancer Caucus.
Co-Chairs:
Rep. Donald Payne Jr.
(D-NJ)
Rep. Mark Green
(R-TN)
