The future of American science is in jeopardy. Since January, progress in thousands of academic and government labs has stalled as federal agencies have frozen funding or cancelled grants. Now Congress is considering a budget for the coming year that could include deep cuts to the federal agencies that fund science at U.S. colleges and universities.

If you want to join the effort, this is the time to act.

It’s quick and easy to contact your members of Congress through the Speak Up for Science action center to ask them to reject proposed cuts to agencies like the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy. You’ll also find images and messaging you can share on social media to help spread the word.

Also, to make it easier for you to make your voice heard, new Stand Up for UC Zoom backgrounds have been added to your default UCOP options!
