Advocacy

The mission of the California Colorectal Cancer Coalition is to increase colorectal cancer screening rates to reduce suffering and save lives. One way we do this is by reaching out to legislators and other key influencers to educate them about the disease, and urge them to take action on behalf of their constituents.

Lobby Day
We’re looking for Californians interested in fighting colorectal cancer to join us on our annual Lobby Day at the State Capitol in Sacramento. No experience needed. Just your passion to save lives. Find out more.

Legislation
There is a federal legislation currently pending, which C4 supports. There is no colorectal cancer legislation currently pending in California, but we hope to change that with our lobby day efforts.

Maps of Colorectal Cancer in Your Neighborhood
One of the most effective ways to convince the public as well as legislators of the importance of an issue is to show how it affects people in their districts.

To find out about colorectal cancer diagnoses in your neighborhood, we've posted maps of late-stage diagnoses by senate and assembly disctrict.
