We hope that you will participate in one or more of these actions to make your voice heard.

Dear Vishal, I am writing on behalf of the AAS Public Policy Team to share an urgent request for action today: please ask your members of Congress to sign letters in support of robust funding for the National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. The deadlines for members of the House of Representatives to sign these letters are tomorrow and the day after, respectively, so please take two minutes today to urge them to sign! The links below will take you to easy forms you can use to ask your members of Congress to sign the relevant "Dear Colleague" letters. "Dear Colleague" letters are internal letters sent between congressional offices that signal broad support for specific agencies and programs, and they are ultimately transmitted to the committee that will determine funding levels for these agencies in Fiscal Year 2027. While the House deadlines for these letters are imminent, we will be in touch later this spring with information about the Senate letters. Urge Your Representative to Support NSF Urge Your Representative to Support NASA Science If you aren’t able to send the above requests by the deadlines, you can still get involved by sending a general message in support of NASA Science, NSF, and the Department of Energy Office of Science to your members of Congress here. You can see the rest of our active action alerts in our Action Center. Thank you for your advocacy, and please feel free to reach out to public...@aas.org if you have any questions.    Colin Hamill, John Bahcall Public Policy Fellow  Email Us | AAS Privacy Policy
