Ishwaria Subbiah: Make Time For Advocacy

Ishwaria Subbiah shared on LinkedIn:

“That’s a wrap on a day well spent!

What do cutting-edge cancer treatments, digital health innovation, and clinical trials access have in common — all require Congressional action on pending legislation! And the clock is ticking for the 118th Congress to act.

MAKE TIME FOR Advocacy — whether you represent your organization or are a private citizen, there are no substitutes for your presence and voice.

Support the conveners who bring us all together — American Association for Cancer Research for a superb Rally!

Support PACs that share your priorities! For a cancer focus, take a look at the nonpartisan ASCO Association PAC.

Advocate from home! American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) makes it easy.”
