Science Rising

Make no mistake. These attacks on science are just part of this administration’s ongoing assault on our democracy and attempt to consolidate authoritarian rule over us all.

We cannot let that happen.

We are strongest when we join together—and we must unite together in collective and sustained action to counter the extreme threats to science and democracy we now face.

Mobilizing scientists and science supporters across the country to speak out, take action, and counter the anti-science and authoritarian actions of the Trump administration.

Pressuring Congress to protect science, stand up for the Constitutional order, and reduce the harms the Trump administration is inflicting on people and communities

Continuing essential science that the administration seeks to suppress or dismantle from within.

Advancing progresswhere possible, and laying the groundwork for rebuilding federal science and our democracy in the years to come.

Spread the word. Knowledge is foundational to action. Recognizing what’s happening for what it is—and sharing this knowledge with others—is step one for countering it.

Take action to protect something you care about. There are so many things you can do. Speak out. Take an action online. Hold Congress accountable at a town hall. Advance independent science. Use and share essential resources like these.

If you are a scientist, join the UCS Science Network.
