2. Complete an Action Alert today! Click here to take action now. Action Alerts are an easy online way to participate in advocacy and make a difference. Each letter you send and each letter you get friends and family to send is counted and tallied by Members of Congress and spurs them to consider our legislative proposals.

3. Contact your local ADVOCACY COORDINATOR or Community Representative and become an advocacy volunteer! Click here to find YOUR local ADVOCACY COORDINATORS and Community Representatives are volunteers across the country who have been trained to be your local Pancreatic Cancer Action Network advocacy organizer. Their work is important and they need your help. Each Advocacy Coordinator or Community Representative works with local volunteers to accomplish critical (but fun!) advocacy volunteer work year-round such as working on state and local proclamations supporting our November Awareness efforts and integrating advocacy activities into local events.

4. Plan on attending the 4th Annual Advocacy Day from June 14th-15th in Washington, DC. Discounted hotel rooms will be available when registration opens in the winter of 2009.
