If you cannot travel to Washington, D.C., to join us for the Fifth Annual Pancreatic Cancer Advocacy Day, we hope that you will participate in the National Call-In. Please mark your calendar for Tuesday, June 14th and be prepared to spend 5 minutes placing three very important phone calls that day.
What is the National Call-In?
The National Call-in is an opportunity for all Pancreatic Cancer Action Network supporters across the country to join together with one voice to tell Congress that while you can't attend Advocacy Day in person, you believe that the time has come for Congress to take action on pancreatic cancer!
How does it work?
On Monday, June 14th, 2011, you will receive an email with instructions on how to place the calls to your two U.S. Senators and U.S. Representative. The email will include their office phone numbers, and what we'd like for you to say. The calls should take less than 5 minutes of your time, but they will significantly impact our efforts to make the pancreatic cancer community heard. To sign up for the Advocacy E-list (and get e-mails about the National Call-In), click here. Information about the National Call-In will also be available at www.pancan.org on June 14.
Mark your calendar today!
More than 2,000 phone calls were placed to Congress during the 2010 National Call-In. These calls were a tremendous help in augmenting the in-person meetings that were happening as part of the Advocacy Day. Please mark your calendar now for the 2011 National Call-In on June 14th and ask your friends and family to do the same. With your help, we can double the amount of calls that are placed to members of Congress during this year's Advocacy Day and make sure that legislators hear our message loud and clear: Pancreatic Cancer: Know It. Fight It. End It!
