From Washington, D.C., to Brisbane, Australia, over 600 marches around the world showcased the global resistance to President Donald Trump's war on science
Apr 22, 2017
Tens of thousands are celebrating Earth Day by marching Saturday against President Donald Trump's ongoing attacks on science, in an unprecedented global uprising of scientists against the anti-science Trump administration.
With demonstrations on six continents, there was even a (small) march on the North Pole:

"I'm encouraged by the marches I've seen already taking place around the world," Rush Holt, a former congressman and head of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, told the Guardian on Saturday morning. "For generations scientists have been reluctant to be in the public square."
"Scientists are understanding that they have to become activists, that they have to speak up, that they have to be heard," John Holdren, a science advisor to former President Barack Obama, added to the newspaper.
As the march in Washington, D.C, kicks off, here are photos and videos of satellite science marches in the U.S. and around the world:

An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, The U.S. is on a fast track to authoritarianism like nothing I've ever seen. Meanwhile, corporate news outlets are utterly capitulating to Trump, twisting their coverage to avoid drawing his ire while lining up to stuff cash in his pockets. That's why I believe that Common Dreams is doing the best and most consequential reporting that we've ever done. Our small but mighty team is a progressive reporting powerhouse, covering the news every day that the corporate media never will. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. And to ignite change for the common good. Now here's the key piece that I want all our readers to understand: None of this would be possible without your financial support. That's not just some fundraising cliche. It's the absolute and literal truth. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. Will you donate now to help power the nonprofit, independent reporting of Common Dreams? Thank you for being a vital member of our community. Together, we can keep independent journalism alive when it’s needed most. - Craig Brown, Co-founder |
