As people who live close to nature, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, it is essential we speak up for Science. We will meet at 10 AM in Courthouse Park and march to the Opera Hall. Please keep it positive, we're marching FOR science and evidence-based knowledge, not AGAINST a particular regime.
At the opera hall, we will join the Earth Day celebration, where there will be speakers, workshops, teach-ins and live music. For details on the event, visit this site: https://www.facebook.com/
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.
