STEM Community Building
March for Science NYC recognizes that one of the most crucial aspects of being part of the advocacy space is to cultivate connections. Not only must we create connections with the activists and community leaders, but we must coalition within our own disciplines along one unified front. We in STEM -- from those in the field to those in academia -- all share struggles that we can give a voice to.
