Our lack of federal leadership, and yes individual carelessness too, is killing twice as many Black people as white.

Think about that every time you consider going to a gathering “with just a few friends.”
To be specific—The carelessness of white people is killing Black and brown people. Straight up.
Say you’re a white person and you have a party with other white people. Maybe one person has COVID but is asymptomatic, and gives it to 3 other people at the party. And those people pass it on, and so on.

We marched. We voted. But our work is not done.

Electing a President who will listen to scientists is a good start, but it's nowhere near enough.
To bring about transformative change, we must first create the legislative conditions conducive to achieving success.

That means we also need a Senate who will listen to and work with scientists.

📢 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.

Luckily, everyone survived this incident but survival cannot be the bar for police engagement with Black people.
We have seen hundreds of pictures and videos of Black people needlessly murdered during interactions with police officers.

📢📢📢 It's official: The first work our political action committee will engage in is going to GEORGIA and helping the Democrats win back the Senate! 🍑 #PACforScience
Electing a President who listens to science is a good start, but it's not enough.

To address the many crises we face, we need a #GreenNewDeal, #MedicareForAll, a national mask mandate, a ban on fracking, and so much more.

We need a Senate that also listens to science.
To have policies that stand up for science and justice, we must first create the legislative conditions conducive to achieving success.

That begins in Georgia, where two Senate run-off elections on January 5th will determine the balance of power in Washington.

A thread to change your life.
This image of Earth was acquired by the Voyager 1 spacecraft on Feb 14th, 1990. From 4 billion miles (6.4 billion kilometers) away.

Voyager took this photo, and continued on, and is now the furthest human-made object from Earth.
Carl Sagan insisted that it was worth NASA’s time to acquire this image, because he knew the impact it would have on our concept of ourselves, and our place in the universe.

Pssst. Now that we have all recovered from yesterday, we have a major announcement to make soon ...
📢📢📢 We are launching a political action committee!

Last week, we elected leaders who embrace science-informed, evidence-based public policies.

But our work is not done. Instead of going away, we are going to double down! gofundme.com/f/supportmarch…
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.
