I am desperate for a door knocking campaign targeting low- info voters. I don't know where to start on my own. Do you know if any scientific societies or orgs are organizing anything?

I mean, imagine if you live in a red bubble and then a park ranger or cancer researcher or weather forecaster knocks on your door and tells you what's really going on? Some people might listen.

My worry is, his loyalists are hateful, violent and many are itching to enact violence if they have not already. They pose a greater risk to door to door people than before. Put them on a magat's property and they will use "safety" as a reason to harm those trying to help.

Compensation at the american chemical society

just me, you needed US $500K for this, you could cut the grotesque salaries of the top people a little

ACS also had 15 million dollars in investment income, suggesting they have 150 - 200 million in the bank

Liz, thank you for this. It's so urgent and unfortunately many are too cowed to stand up. Big ✊ to https://www.unitedsciencealliance.org for their letter and to the thousands who will @standupforscience.bsky.social and 📝 the declaration to #defendresearch from censorship.

Sadly, my professional scientific society, with which I’ve had a long association, initially chose dalliance with anticipatory genuflection and then, upon protests from members, opted for milquetoast overtures of protest with no real courage or conviction to buttress them. 🤷🏾‍♂️
