The Dana-Farber Legislative Action Network (LAN) believes it is critically important to strengthen the relationship between health care, healthy communities, and civic participation. Better health for everyone begins when every citizen has a voice in public policy decisions that affect their well-being. That is why Dana-Farber is proud to partner with VotER to provide nonpartisan advocacy and education dedicated to making voting and civic participation accessible to all, especially historically and contemporarily excluded or exploited communities. 

Civic participation and voting in Massachusetts is safe, easy, and convenient. To check your voter registration status or register to vote in Massachusetts, you can visit:  www.WhereDoIVoteMA.com. 

Regardless of the state where you reside, you can text: "VOTE DFCI" to 34444 to receive a link to register to vote. You can also visit www.VOTE.HEALTH/72 or scan the code at the end of this alert.

Under state and federal law, non-profit organizations like Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) may discuss federal, state and local policy, regulatory and budgetary issues, including ballot questions, and take appropriate advocacy and lobbying actions, so long as we remain nonpartisan while doing so and appropriately report all permissible activities to required state, federal and local entities.
 
To remain nonpartisan, DFCI cannot and does not endorse or oppose any candidate for political office, political party or affiliation. DFCI employees may not participate in or make statements that qualify as a prohibited political activity during work hours. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute does not tell our employees, patients, caregivers or visitors to the Institute how to vote, or require that they vote in a manner consistent with any institutional policy position that we take. We do, however, encourage nonpartisan participation in activities such as voting and completing the US Census.
