We must fight to save science so we can continue doing the work that keeps Americans healthy.
Link.
Why? For the last three weeks, we have seen unprecedented attacks on science that have severely impacted our day-to-day work as scientists, researchers, and clinicians – funding that sustains critical scientific research to improve human health has been dramatically cut, research is being censored, and scientists are losing their jobs. Every day our research is restricted and censored, we lose years on potential treatments and cures for Alzheimer’s Disease, Diabetes, and Cancer for the American people. Every job that is lost, we lose the next scientist that could cure Cancer. Every dollar of science funding that is cut, we lose competitiveness as a scientific world power. The work we do is a public good and essential for the health of each and every American, now and in the future. We must fight to save science so we can continue doing the work that keeps Americans healthy.
What? We are joining academic unions across the country in a National Day of Action. We will rally in defense of science, medicine, and public health in DC. We are demanding the administration stop the attack on science, medicine, and public health research by rescinding the cuts and restrictions.
