Marisa here from Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). Donald Trump and his anti-science loyalists are determined to implement the worst of Project 2025 and are already working with corporate polluters to intimidate scientists and sideline science—endangering communities, people, and the planet. We have to intervene NOW and build the public pressure we need to stop attacks against scientists and science.

​​We know from experience that when science and scientists are sidelined, people get hurt. Will you sign the petition?

The Trump administration's current agenda would eviscerate the protections that everyday people support and count on. Clean air and water. Safe food and medicine. Products that won't harm us. Protection from extreme weather and other damaging effects of climate change. Without strong public science, people will suffer, and historically marginalized communities will continue to bear the burden of these harms.

USC has launched an open letter to Congress calling on members to block attempts to politicize or eliminate scientific roles, agencies, and public research that protect our health, environment, and our communities. But elected officials need to know that their constituents are watching and expecting them to act.
