From our comrades at UAW 4100, see below for info on a phone bank to protect science funding THIS FRIDAY – please share widely!
We have had major successes fighting back against the federal government’s attacks on science and higher education together with academic workers across the country. But our fight is not over. The Trump Administration has proposed devastating cuts to NIH funding, and we have a critical window in which to act before the 2026 federal budget gets approved.
In order to prevent any cuts to scientific research, we are continuing to leverage the nationwide movement we’ve built to pressure officials in both political parties. Our ability to win more depends on showing our elected officials that we are all united in the fight to save science. The more of us who participate, the stronger our message will be.
On September 5, at 12pm PT/3pm ET, higher ed workers across the country will call representatives in Congress to demand NO CUTS to science funding in the federal budget. Fill out this form to join the phonebank.
