📢 This past weekend, March for Science leader and communications team member @claytoff had a harrowing experience with the police department in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania as he and friends enjoyed a night of celebration, food, fire and music.
The incident resulted in the arrest of Dr. Kaye Georeen without any explanation of crime or violation of law.

Since our inception, we have operated as a fiscally-sponsored non-profit, which has come with many constraints; namely, that we cannot spend more than 20% of our budget on advocacy.
