Civic Engagement in STEM
March for Science NYC believes that everyone in STEM has a responsibility to engage with the politics around them, as well as a responsibility to promote equal access to those opportunities. It is through politics that we can shape the actions that will uplift our communities. It is through opening continual conversation between policy and research that we can make informed decisions for our democracy.
