CALL TO ACTION!!!

Due to the current administrations attitude towards science, an
international movement has begun to bring attention to the importance of
scientific research and evidence-based policies. A *March For Science* is
scheduled around the world on April 22, 2017 (earth day) to assure that the
relationship between science and democracy does not continue to erode.
Because Information Science impacts all areas of society, we believe this
is an important movement for ASIS&T to support. We are calling on our
members to support the message that science is important to a civilized
world, and ask that you participate in whatever way you can.

There will be a main march in Washington, D.C., as well as 479 satellite
marches around the world with several in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand
as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Chapters and SIGs might want to form their own groups for these marches, or
individuals can just join in where they want. Please contact your groups to
see how they are participating. To learn more about the March For Science
and how to participate, please visit https://www.marchforscience.com/
