All,
Attached is a chapter-specific flier telling members about the March for Science satellite march(es) in your area. UUP is urging members to attend a march in support of scientists and the public they serve around the nation and the world, and to alert the public to recent efforts to suppress scientific research and to censor researchers.
The flier includes active links to:
1) a sign-up form. Please remind your members who attend any march—in New York, another state or in Washington, D.C., to sign up on the UUP site (national march organizers have asked for our help in determining the total number of marchers).
2) UUP-specific March for Science merchandise: one for shirts (short- and long-sleeved T-shirts, crew-neck sweatshirts and hoodies; another for coffee mugs. Proceeds benefit future March for Science events. The deadline to order and get the merchandise in time for the march is April 9.
3) a UUP web page that includes all of the links, as well as a list of NYS marches for UUPers to attend. Coming to the page will be a list of UUP speakers for satellite marches in 12 areas across the state. Also on the site is information on how chapters and groups can request rally signs from UUP headquarters.
PLEASE WIDELY DISTRIBUTE THIS FLIER, and please forward to your chapter newsletter editor and webmaster.

ALL SCIENCE MATTERS!
in solidarity,
