After a successful 2018 event, CCAP Across The Map returned to the 2019 Rally for Science. Although we continued building awareness around women’s health issues, this year we focused on garnering support for a meeting with Senator Krysten Sinema with our change.org campaign. Here’s an excerpt from our campaign’s statement:
Due to a lack of resources such as preventative HPV vaccines and diagnostic Pap smear tests, women around the world are dying preventable deaths.
Solution
Make our U.S. senators aware of the power of HPV vaccines and Pap smear tests. If we can inspire an audience through this platform to show our support, we can make it easier for our political leaders to keep us on their radar.
Vaccines have been the best solution for preventable diseases. They are undisputedly effective. 194 countries have endorsed the Global Vaccine Action Plan, resulting in the prevention of 2-3 million deaths every year.
