Save Our Cures

🎉 INTRODUCING #SaveOurCures🎉 Federal biomedical research represents less than 1% of the federal budget but delivers life-saving treatments for millions of American families. 93% of cancer treatments started with American government-funded research. 🧵: 1/8

THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING UP FOR RESEARCH To everyone who contacted their representatives, shared why research matters, and stood up for federal biomedical research funding: thank you. Thank you for being part of #SaveOurCures. Your advocacy matters.

When we needed to speak up to Congress and ask lawmakers to #SaveOurCures, Ray Casey shared how a clinical trial changed his life. He and so many others spoke up through our campaign, and it made a difference!

Thank you to everyone who spoke up to help #SaveOurCures. Your voices protected an investment that makes America stronger, healthier, and more innovative.

ONE WEEK until Congress must decide on the Fiscal Year 2026 research funding budget. Tell Congress to finalize strong funding. Your family's future depends on it: FundResearch.org #SaveOurCures
