Join us to Stand up for Science in Vermont and Nationwide!
On Friday, March 7 we will be marching in Burlington to help spread the message of the vital role science plays in our lives and economy, with the intention of:
1. Securing and expanding scientific funding
2. Ending censorship and political interference in science
3. Defending diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in science
We also hope to educate Vermonters that federal research grants, including indirect costs, support local jobs.
Anyone organizing or participating will do so as individuals and not on behalf of any institution. Our march will take place on public sidewalks in two 1-hour loops.
LOOP 1:
• 12pm: Meet at University Green (near Prospect St. and College St.)
• Walk down College St. to Church St. (~20 mins)
• Walk down Church St. to Pearl St. (~20 mins)
• Walk up Pearl St. back to University Green (~20 mins)
LOOP 2:
• 1pm: Meet at University Green (near Prospect St. and College St.)
• Walk down Main St. to City Hall (~20 mins)
• Loop around City Hall Park (~20 mins)
• Walk up College St. back to University Green (~20 mins)
This is a march, not a rally, and due to last-minute planning, there is no base location. The goal of this peaceful march is to educate Vermonters and draw attention to the danger imposed to critical medical research & scientific progress from recent firings and attacks on scientific research. Participants should abide by the laws of the City of Burlington and to be mindful of and not obstruct traffic along the route, as intersections will not be closed for this march.
Please visit the official website to hear more about the goals of the rally and for tips on how to prepare for participation. This includes making signs without sticks and ignoring agitators. https://standupforscience2025.org
