FW: March for Science Volunteer Update!

[Lisa Scheifele]

Hi all,

 

Can we spread the word about this through our social media? Also, what do people think about planning something around this event? Maybe having bugss members go down together (It’s on Sat April 22). Is there some potential conflict with our 501c3 status that we need to be wary of?

Subject: March for Science Volunteer Update!

 

Hello! We wanted to send you a quick update on things here at March for Science and ask for your help as volunteers. We have, at present count, more than 190 sister cities hosting marches on April 22.  Our website has been updated with more details about our mission, values, and goals for the march, but it also features a map of registered cities and their social media pages.  This list is constantly being updated as we get more information from self-organized marches around the world.  The DC march is a small part of an enormous global movement in support of science and science based policy. Marches are currently scheduled on 6 out of 7 continents (still working on Antarctica!).   We also want to thank you for your patience.  We have so far contacted roughly 1/4 of the 53,000 people who volunteered to help with the march but are eager to reach out to every one of you.  We look forward to working with you in the future, both in the march planning and efforts beyond. For now, we have two requests.   1)    We encourage you to get the word out about the march in whatever way you can. Talk to local high schools.  Reach out to science museums.   Post about it on social.  The larger the movement, the more effective the message and we are counting on each and every one of you to build on this inspiring momentum around the globe! 2)    We hope to feature some of your personal stories on social media.  So, please, send your stories about how science has affected you in your everyday life to sto...@marchforscience.com.  If you're a researcher, tell us about your work!  If you're someone with a passion for science, tell us why!  We are also hoping to feature original science themed artwork.  If you are interested in having us display your art, please send it to us, along with how you would like to be credited at a...@marchforscience.com.  We want the voices of everyone supporting this movement to be heard.
