Thousands of protesters gathered in Washington for Stand Up for Science, a rally in response to President Trump’s federal-funding and job cuts.
Protesters say firings, budget and grant cuts in health, climate, science and other research government agencies by the Trump administration are endangering not just the future but the present.
At "Stand Up for Science" rallies across the U.S., scientists and their supporters protested Trump administration actions affecting research.
Stand Up for Science rallies in Washington, D.C., and across the United States drew crowds of people worried about cuts to scientific funding.
Several people rally at the NPR headquarters in D.C. Thursday, as the organization continues to face threats of defunding from several Republican lawmakers.
If the blue and yellow of Ukraine was one of the most prominent visuals of the demonstration, the most palpable anger was an anti-elite rage directed at Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, who is working to enact sweeping cuts to the civil service.
