On March 7, 2025, scientists and their supporters rallied in communities and on campuses across the United States and world. This coordinated effort provided an opportunity for thousands of engineers and scientists to act locally to draw attention to the concerns and demands they have.
ESAL tracked 70+ national, local, and campus reporting about rallies and events hosted as part of the "Stand Up for Science" campaign. Here is what we collected:
