We went into action. Social media stories blew up the internet. We were covered by CNN, ABC, MSNBC, STATNews, Newsweek, Rolling Stones, The Bulkward. We had one more chance. At 11:50 pm, 12/20/24, the last hour of this Congress, the Senate UC’ed our bills. Rand Paul objected. The vote failed.

We were elated on December 17th when Congress included our pediatric cancer drug development bills, the reauthorization of the pediatric priority review voucher program and the Give Kids a Chance Act, in the federal end-of-year funding bill. We were so close to victory.

Yes. I’m glad. But kids with cancer are still suffering. When it is their turn to get the care they need?

We stopped extreme MAGA Republicans from shutting down the government and crashing the economy. The American people have won this round. Far right billionaires have lost. The struggle continues in the new year.

GREAT NEWS! Congress’ end-of-year bill includes our bills: PRV & Give Kids a Chance Act! It also includes Innovations, AKACA, & Kids 2.0! Goal: passage by December 20!
