ZERO Prostate Cancer has responded to the latest USPSTF appointments. Eight new Task Force members were announced, but none bring prostate cancer expertise or patient representation. As the Task Force develops its updated screening recommendation, we believe patient voices must be part of that process. We're asking the Task Force and Secretary Kennedy to: • Include trained patient advocates as voting members • Commit to a transparent public comment process • Keep clinical science at the center of any recommendation Read the full statement from President & CEO Courtney Bugler. 🔗 bit.ly/4yQWufj #ZEROProstateCancer #USPSTF #ProstateCancer

Today, we remember. Twenty-five years ago, the September 11 attacks changed this country forever. We honor those we lost, the survivors, the first responders, and the families and communities still carrying that weight. Many of the men and women who answered the call that day, and in the years that followed, are now facing a different kind of challenge: prostate cancer. Veterans are diagnosed with prostate cancer at higher rates than the general population. So we're asking veterans to share their prostate cancer story, and it only takes about 10 minutes. Every story we collect is one more veteran who won't feel alone. Are you or someone you know a Veteran impacted by prostate cancer? Share your story here: bit.ly/4xTOpq2 #ZEROProstateCancer #Veterans #ShareYourStory

Do you live in California? Landmark legislation to ensure that life, long-term care, and disability insurers cannot discriminate based on genetic test results is headed to Governor Newsom's desk. If signed into law, Californians carrying genetic mutations associated with cancer or other diseases will be protected from genetic discrimination, and it will serve as a model for states across the U.S. and internationally. Genetic testing can provide powerful information about prostate cancer risk, but currently, that information can be used to deny certain kinds of insurance coverage. This bill will allow Californians to get the health information they need, without risking their financial security. Urge Governor Gavin Newsom to sign this crucial legislation: ow.ly/UIh750ZHsIo #ZEROProstateCancer #ActionAlert #geneticdiscrimination

We are honored to welcome Emmy Award-winning journalist and news anchor Tony Perkins as ZERO's newest Ambassador. A familiar face to millions across the country, Tony is now using his platform to share his own prostate cancer journey. At the Baltimore launch of our Blitz The Barriers initiative, Tony opened up about his diagnosis. Then he took that message to Good Morning America, because he knows that when people hear from someone they trust, lives can change. In his own words: "Early detection saves lives. It's that simple." Tony's courage puts a face on an urgent reality. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, but when caught early, it's also one of the most treatable. Too many men, especially those in underserved communities, aren't getting screened. That has to change. Join us in welcoming Tony to the ZERO family and learn how, together, we are breaking barriers and saving lives. Read our full statement: bit.ly/3UMtzKw #ZEROProstateCancer #ZeroStigma #ZeroBarriers

30 Years of Impact | Story 5 At 48 years olf, Ben was fit, healthy, and had no family history of prostate cancer. A "chance" PSA test during a routine physical was the only warning sign that led to his diagnosis. Today, after successful treatment, his PSA levels are undetectable. Ben recently took his story with him to Capitol Hill, joining us in Washington, D.C., for the 2026 Prostate Cancer Advocacy Summit. By meeting face-to-face with lawmakers, he helped advocate for policies that secure steady research funding and ensure men nationwide have access to the early detection that saved his own life. Policy change doesn't happen without your voice.
