If you’re a scientist with even a little bit of experience talking about your science to the public, I’d encourage you to sign up to do one of these. I can help. 🧪🌎🦑
Our goal is to have 1000 SUFS Teach Ins across the US, by 9/30.
*GASP* 😮
We know, it's a big goal.
If you've received tax dollars for your science, you have a responsibility to inform *your* community what is at stake: public health, the economy, innovation, and America's global leadership.

Just imagine what we could fund (schools! healthcare!) if we weren't subsidizing Big Oil and Gas and the destruction they cause.
Fossil Fuel Subsidies Are a Violent Betrayal of the American People
The U.S. government’s continued subsidies for the fossil fuel industry cost us billions of dollars every year, as well as our health, safety, and environment.

Here are some inconvenient truths:
1⃣Climate change is real
2⃣Oil production has dropped under Pres. Trump
3⃣The GOP reconciliation package adds $4.5T to the national debt
In the Natural Resources Committee, we're asking Republicans to work with us on an organized, long-term clean energy transition.
