On May 29, the Office of Management and Budget posted a sweeping regulatory change that will end American science as we know it.
It’s time to fight back! Head to the SUFS Action Center to:
- Learn how to write public comments
- Submit YOUR public comment
- Contact your Members of Congress
- Learn how to talk about this new proposed rule and why it matters
- We all have benefited from scientific advances; these rule changes will destroy US science. (Simply stating opposition is worthwhile for the record)
- Personal and family stories about medical advances: cancer, COVID, overall lifespan and quality of life
- Importance of accurate weather forecasts
- The rules will hinder or eliminate publication and collaborations, essential parts of the scientific enterprise in all fields.
- Ideological political appointees should not have the power to arbitrarily terminate inconvenient research and overrule scientific peer review.
- Congress appropriates money, and the executive branch cannot arbitrarily decide not to spend it.
- Congress has some powers to stop this. Contact your reps and senators and simply state opposition to the rules changes. They will note your opposition; you do not have to write a long piece.
About Us
Stand Up For Science is a political activism organization dedicated to defending and advancing America’s scientific ecosystem, a cornerstone of democracy, freedom, and progress.
Founded in February 2025, we came together in response to the Trump Administration’s dismantling of our nation’s premier science institutions and escalating threats to the lives and livelihoods of Americans. We recognized these attacks for what they are: authoritarian power grabs.
We believe that science is the lifeblood of American democracy and freedom. With a bold strategy combining activism, messaging campaigns, grassroots organizing, and political advocacy, we’re mobilizing the fight for science and democracy, now and for generations to come.
