VBCF is preparing for our national advocacy season and we hope you will join us for any or all of the following meetings and opportunities to flex your advocacy muscles!
April Advocacy Meeting: Spotlight on the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act - April 13th at Noon via Zoom
Gather virtually with fellow advocates to learn more about the federal Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act (HR 3183; S 1312) and how you can help get this bill passed in Congress. VBCF Board members Marylinn Minor and Anne Woodward will discuss the bill and its status, and our plans for the National Breast Cancer Coalition's (NBCC) 2022 Lobby Day coming up on May 3rd. We'll have time for questions and discussion. Register Here
Meetings with Virginia's Congressional Delegation on Lobby Day - May 3rd(schedule TBD)
There is strength in numbers! Help us make an impact by participating in virtual Zoom meetings with Virginia legislators during the National Breast Cancer Lobby Coalition's Lobby Day. No experience is necessary! NBCC-trained Team Leaders will present our legislative priorities and can answer any questions that arise, but your experience with breast cancer can help drive the message home to our Congressional leaders. Meetings typically last about 15 minutes and you do not have to attend every meeting. Register hereto participate in the 2022 National Breast Cancer Lobby Day.
