Marchers in cities big and small across the nation this Saturday say the evidence is clear: It’s time to stand up for science.
Although organizers of the March for Science are trying to steer the marches away from politics, many in the scientific community are concerned about the new administration’s denial of evidence for man’s role in climate change and its silencing of federal scientists and national park employees.
The main march is in Washington, D.C., and several smaller, sister marches will be held in Idaho.
Marches are planned for Boise, Idaho Falls, Pocatello and the Moscow-Pullman area. Many will include family-friendly activities, such as science fairs to promote the importance of science. The marches also coincide with Earth Day.
The Boise March for Science will begin at the Statehouse at 10:30am this Saturday.
