Today the lead March For Science organizers in Washington DC announced the date of the global event. So mark your calendars for Earth Day, April 22nd and show up downtown ready to send our government reps a message. We are people who value science and recognize how science serves.
The March for Science demonstrates our passion for science and sounds a call to support and safeguard the scientific community. Recent policy changes have caused heightened worry among scientists. The incredible and immediate outpouring of support has made clear that these concerns are also shared by the support of hundreds of thousands of people around the world.
The mischaracterization of science as a partisan issue, which has given policymakers permission to reject overwhelming evidence, is a critical and urgent matter. It is time for people who support scientific research and evidence-based policies to take a public stand and be counted.
