Thousands in Atlanta stoodup and spoke out for scienceduring March For ScienceATLANTA (April 22, 2017) — Earth Day 2017 saw unprecedentednumbers of people hit the streets in over 600 cities worldwide tosupport science-based policy and protect science from politicalassault. The city of Atlanta hosted its event in Candler Park this pastSaturday where 8,000 people came to march, according to AtlantaPolice Department estimates. WSB-TV spoke to Director, JasmineClark PhD about the reasons why so many are marching for science.

The March For Science Atlanta felt like a friendly street fair withpalpable excitement in the air by people of all ages. Marchers,including senior scientists, fresh-faced graduate students, and youngfamilies with strollers, eagerly posed with their pro-science signs forphotos by strangers amused by the rampant science-related wit. Signsranged from serious,“My dad had polio. I didn’t. Vaccines work”tolight-hearted, smart, and funny,“I like Big Brains (and I cannot lie)”or“Science. It works bitches,”a now famous Richard Dawkinsquote.

Some of the best signs to represent the March For Science effortsinclude,“Make Facts Great Again,”“There is No Planet B,“MakeEarth Cool Again,”“Science Doesn’t Care What You Believe,”

“Science is Not Fake News,”“Save the EPA,”“Cures Not Cuts”and many taking the campaign slogan,“Science Not Silence.”Photoalbum available on Facebook.

Though a number of anti-Trump and“Frack”Pruitt signs poppedup, the event held an overwhelmingly positive message andnon-partisan tone. Attendee comments on social media suggest theyappreciated the well-organized event; helpful volunteers, peacefuland thoughtful crowd, water and restroom availability, vendorbooths, and a stimulating program of speakers.

In an effort to maintain its momentum, March For Science is askingpeople to get to work for science by choosing one science-relatedissue and contacting state representatives to express concerns. This isthe #sciencemarcheson campaign spearheaded by the Washington D.C. organizers, who intend to update supportersthrough sciencemarcheson.org.
