Standing Up for Science and Against Extraction
The second weekend of March, SRTI activists joined Stand Up for Science (across the US and around the world) and CERA Week (in Houston, TX). In the US and around the world, academics are being attacked for their activism. We continue to show up, and to advocate for nonviolent direct action.
Scientists Rebellion against Fossil Fuels at AGU
Images and info about our AGU activities. Scientists signed petitions and pledges, and talked with us at our booth. We projected activist messages. We hosted a workshop, made oral and poster presentations, held a pod discussion, and two outside social gatherings. It was a busy week!
