Standing up for Science Against DOGE Attacks : Indybay

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : We created these institutions, and we funded these institutions, and the Appropriations Act is an act of Congress it's a federal law.
51% : With the Lincoln Memorial as a dramatic backdrop, an extensive list of speakers, including legislators, distinguished scientists, and patients whose lives have been saved due to scientific research, all addressed the importance of and immediate necessity to reverse the patently unconscionable DOGE decision to shut science down.
45% : And to "Secure and Expand Scientific Funding, Ending Censorship and Political Interference in Science and to defend DEI so that science is open and accessible for all."
44% : The protest and rally were originally conceived by a small group of graduate students and other mid-career scientists in reaction to the Trump administration's DOGE firing of thousands of government science workers, along with cutting funds, freezing grants and terminating DEIA (diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility). Stand up for Science has now blossomed into a global movement that "aims to defend science as a public good and a pillar of social, political, and economic progress."
20% : We've got the lawmaking power, if anybody is going to tear down the NIH, if anybody is going to dismantle the Agency for International Development, if anybody is going to take down the Food and Drug Administration it's going to be the Congress of the United States, not Donald Trump, not Elon Musk, not DOGE.
