Standing up for science and the scientists who keep us safe.
Clean air and water. Safe food and medicine. Protection from extreme weather and the impacts of climate change. Every day federal scientists do the essential work that keeps us healthy and safe.
Now we need to defend the work these dedicated public servants do for all of us—because president Trump and his anti-science loyalists are actively attacking science and purging government scientists and experts, with dire consequences for people and the planet.
We know from experience that when science and scientists are sidelined, people get hurt.
That’s why we’ve launched the Save Science, Save Lives campaign—to support and champion science and the thousands of federal scientists and experts who are under attack. Join us.
