Survivors' Lobby Day
Thank you for participating in our 3rd Annual Survivors' Lobby Day on April 22, 2010. Approximately 65 adolescent and young adult cancer survivors attended a total of 25 meetings with Members of Congress and Congressional staff. We are continuing to monitor the impact of these meetings, which aimed to increase the number of co-sponsors on important childhood cancer survivorship legislation (H.R. 2109).
The annual CCCA Survivors' Lobby Day, held in the Spring, brings together young adult cancer survivors on Capitol Hill for a day of mobilizing against childhood cancer. CCCA, in partnership with the American Psychological Association, offers a training workshop in the morning of the lobby day, which familiarizes survivors with the federal legislative and appropriations process and instructs attendees on effective messaging strategies for their afternoon visits with Congressional Members and staff.
