March for Science: Nature Needs You!

The March for Science is this coming Saturday, April 22nd. Not coincidentally, that day is also Earth Day. Science needs you. Nature needs you. The planet needs you. Please stand up this weekend, in any way that you can.

WHY SHOULD ENVIRONMENTALISTS AND WILDLIFE ADVOCATES CARE? "For people attempting to deny climate change, eliminating all climate data conveniently erases the foundation for climate policy. Without species data, conveniently there’s no foundation for endangered species protections." Read more HERE.

WHERE TO MARCH: Are you marching this weekend? There are sister marches all across the country. Find one near you HERE.

HOW ELSE TO SUPPORT: If you cannot march, show your support by sharing and retweeting posts this weekend on social media and using the hashtag #MarchForScience or #ScienceNotSilence. Consider printing out one of the signs below and displaying it on your vehicle or in your home window.
