Today in DC, we joined over 20 scientists whose research grants were canceled by the Trump admin. They shared what’s at stake when science is politicized, and what we lose when solutions to our biggest problems are cast aside. #StandUpForScience

Good morning electeds and staff. The time to loudly sound the alarm that the cuts to NOAA and FEMA have made our communities less safe and puts us all at risk, is today. Right now.
Resilience investments saves lives and saves money. The existing and proposed cuts to resilience programs will make our communities more vulnerable to extreme weather, less safe when disasters approach, and with less resources to recover. It’s dangerous.
Comms pros for electeds: get your bosses on the record and on TV and on the Internet and on the House/Senate Floors tomorrow hammering home how devastating the existing and proposed cuts to NOAA and the workforce and resilience and climate are. Nobody knows about them except us nerds! Tell people.

NEW: per multiple sources, apparently there may be punishment/retaliation coming for EPA employees who signed the Declaration of Dissent this week. People are starting to get letters putting them on administrative leave, seems like potentially targeted at those who signed with their names.
