I would suggest doing sit-ins next

We also recognize the gravity of this moment. Every person who turned out did so because they know science is under urgent, real attack. Our mission is fueled by the tens of thousands of people who took time away from work, hobbies, and loved ones to stand up for science—and the hope it brings.

standupforscience.bsky.social•11 hours ago

But our work is far from done—science is still under attack.

We’ve got ideas, but we want to hear from you. What’s worrying you most? What should we do next? How can we grow this movement together?

Instead of each group of people affected by Trump's madness making their own thing, you guys should just all unite and get him out of office.

For those engaged in the Stand Up for Science campaign, the most sustainable way to do this is to:

Keep the pilot light lit and dispersed widely.

—multiple shared data & paper backups

—mentor more next generation scholars

—collaborate with international researchers

Boston, Congressman Jake Auchincloss spoke
I paraphrase
Congress can hold hearings
Congress works by committee
The Chairs rule the committees
In the senate, the two relevant chairs are Sens Crapo of Idaho and Sen Cassady of Louisiana

Therefore, if you know anyone in Idaho or Louisiana, call them

brooklynkid53bskys.bsky.social•7 hours ago

and ask them to call their senators (politely)

I have no other good ideas

Be prepared with good stories (not "facts") when a family member or friend asks you, ie this person was saved from cancer by a drug that was the result of 15 years of basic research; I doubt the 1$ NIH dollar = $2.50 return

brooklynkid53bskys.bsky.social•7 hours ago

is a story with much salience

Send money to the Democrat running for a seat on the Wisc supreme court

why ?
if the republican wins, they GOP will just steal the election in 2026 and 2028 and our task will be harder

I would love to see a collaboration across our various efforts! Resisting censorship is the first item in the action plan shared at the #standupforscience2205 rallies and that's the focus of the group of us working on the Declaration Against U.S. Gov Censorship a https://tinyurl.com/3bwuc38f

Yes for sure! We can share this on our website as a way for people to take action!

lschiff.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Thank you!!!! We are discussing how to mobilize signatories for more action--would love to collaborate on that too!!

standupforscience.bsky.social•9 hours ago

We would love that!!!

The state rep at the protest in Boston said he needs people in Lousiana, Idaho and Kentucky to call their reps. They are committee members.

amockingbird.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Senate or house? Our senators in Louisiana are cowards and dipshits, but we’ve got a couple dem reps. Mine, Cleo Fields, is voting the right way on everything and his office staff is wonderful to talk to. His district included LSU when he was state rep so he’s good on higher education in general.

brooklynkid53bskys.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Yes, god yes, this is such a simple message that people are so resistant to, thank you !!!!!!!

I would like to hear more from Science teachers around the country, and how they are working around these new rules to keep their students educated on the topics that matter most. I know they’re out there, it would be nice to consolidate their stories here. 🧬🔬📚

agree- some of the signs at the rally were so catchy and creative

cocktailchem.bsky.social•7 hours ago

It’s be good to see organizing to lobby states to step up funding of local institutions. It’s not going to be able to fill all the gaps, but every bit counts.

I think more rallies should be held, I wanted to attend but I genuinely could not get time off work (if I miss another day I could get fired)

I cannot wait to get more involved in our little region of blue in Asheville.

I don't know if the speeches at the nationwide rallies were recorded, but if those recordings could be shared then that would spread the message to more people.

mburnskaurin.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Thank you for organizing the rallies.

bluefugue.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I think the value of these protests may mainly be in the connections they form. We need to keep communicating. Bigger actions, much bigger, are almost certainly going to be required.

edowd.bsky.social•10 hours ago

A HUGE thank you to everyone who worked to put these rallies on, and in particular the one in DC. It was clearly a tremendous amount of work. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
