The group also calls for the restoration of “all DEIA programming within federal agencies prior to January 1, 2025” and the removal of “limitations on topics of scientific research covered by federal funding.”

“Politics defines who can become a scientist. Politics defines which grants are funded and what is attracting attention,” the organizers said. Scientific American confirmed that the group plans to meet elected officials in Washington, DC before the meeting.
“I think that in many cases people who don’t know scientists are people who think it’s a secret work that’s happening far away that they can’t really relate to,” another organizer told Popular Science Magazine. “But science is here for you, serving you, and benefits your community.”
The Trump administration’s cuts to government agencies were particularly intense, from the agencies on the left. Trump has taken a series of enforcement actions that will deflate government agencies as part of his goal of reducing taxpayer dollar waste and reducing bureaucracy.
A similar protest broke out in 2017 during President Donald Trump’s first administration. Scientific American confirmed that stand-ups for science were not organized by people associated with previous movements, but that the group for science organizers was “generous with their advice, time and connections.” (Related: There’s the final turnout for DC’s Science March – and they’re not great)
