Jan 6, Palo Alto CA

Two of us took videos of mailing the printout from an online petition we started in November 2024, calling on outgoing President Biden to declare a climate emergency before leaving office. We also took the opportunity to do some statue blindfolding on Stanford University campus.

Two SRTI activists marched in solidarity with labor and immigrants’ rights organizers and other groups that gathered in San Jose, at one of the actions in protest of the repressive politics of the incoming Trump regime.

To combat greenwashing, SRTI NYC brought the real climate science into the American Museum of Natural History, using DIY non-damaging Clingons.

Feb 6, Phoenix AZ

Labcoats in the SW spoke and demonstrated at the Arizona Corporate Commission headquarters to pressure the Commissioners to not bring in a large Natural Methane line to supply AZs future energy needs. This in a state where we have the best opportunity for solar power in the country. We drew chalk lines to represent the 600+ people who died of heat in AZ in the last two years.

One of our Rebels stood with Greenpeace outside US Army Corps of Engineers offices in San Francisco, at a rally organized in response to the SLAPP suit by Energy Transfer. 

Zev Imani spoke to the crowd in Boston, highlighting the importance of science in the face of climate denial.

Griffin Gowdy spoke to a crowd in New York, as well.

March 15, Arizona

Labcoats protested outside the home of the president of AZ Public Service, the largest utility in AZ. Signs read “Ted Geisler, Serve Us, Don’t Kill Us. Climate Change is Murder. Don’t Be Complicit.” and “Ted, Please Serve Us, Don’t Kill Us. Renewable Energy & Climate Justice Now.”

On March 17th, SRTI allies in Cornell On Fire called on Cornell’s Trustees to break from the genocidal consensus that refuses to take on fossil fuels and capitalist destruction. Investing in climate science means standing for life and standing against planetary genocide.

The climate crisis is an environmental crisis and a public health crisis. SR members joined other activist groups in demanding the restoration of EPA to its mission to protect the environment and the public. One of our labcoated Rebels spoke to the crowd.

March 25th, Boston (& part of the Oct. 11–12 HONK! festival, too)

Rose says she had “a joyful and replenishing time” writing and performing in a variety show in Boston called the Climate Crisis Cabaret. She and other Scientist Rebels developed an act where they played themselves in a future where we’ve achieved zero emissions and are describing how we got there. It was fun and they received a lot of positive feedback, so they may try something similar in future iterations of the cabaret. If you would like to be on a future panel, please reach out!

March 29, Sacramento CA,Irvine CA, Portland OR

Scientists joined hundreds in the streets for the nation-wide #TeslaTakedown protests.

SRTI rebels showed up to actions in support of the Fight for Higher Education on April 17th. Three of us joined the huge rally at University of California, Berkeley Sproul Plaza, celebrating the Free Speech Movement! (It made the San Jose Mercury News, one of the major Bay Area newspapers.) Three more stood up for science and climate action at Cornell, and another at Cal State Fullerton.

May 19, San Francisco

A couple Rebels found a good #DontLookAway opportunity on the streets of San Francisco, blindfolding a strange multi-handed businessman statue. A friendly passer-by took some great photos of the actions.

In May, a call went out to our Canadian Rebels to join efforts resisting the Grassy Mountain Coal project.

“We know Premier Smith and the Alberta fossil fuel lobby will do anything to continue planetary destruction by extractivism. Expanding coal despite the damage and lack of need is just another notch in their belt as they try to destroy the climate justice movement. But resistance is fertile!“

See more about resistance to Alberta fossil fuel projects at Mountains, Not Mines and Ours. Not Mines.

May 21, Corvallis OR

At least six Scientist Rebels gathered, and blindfolded some statues as part of our ongoing #DontLookAway campaign.

May 24, Ithaca NY

Scientist Rebellion and Cornell on Fire members join SRTI’s #DontLookAway campaign at Cornell University on Graduation Day to urge the university, leaders and graduating students to pay attention to the climate crisis. This is yet another attempt by Cornell on Fire and fellow organizer student coalitions to pressure Cornell to dissociate from fossil-fuel money in donations, research, and retirement.

May 27, Sacramento CA

SRTI rebels joined a rally at the California state capitol to support the Climate Superfund Act, then got together for some great #DontLookAway photos with the help of a skilled photographer.

June 20, Turtle Island (US & Canada)

Scientist Rebels took to the streets in June, posting “most wanted” posters featuring the most egregious climate villains all over North America. We put them on notice that we’re not afraid. We know what they’re doing and we dissent!
DID YOU KNOW? Tech billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and their ilk are responsible for so much carbon emissions that the average person would need a lifetime to match the amount one of them spews in 90 minutes.
Enough is Enough.
