A Call to Action
Tell Congress why science matters
The Presidential Budget Request is filled with debilitating cuts to science — a gut-punch for our field and our country's future. If enacted, these cuts would eliminate opportunities for students, set U.S. research and innovation on a path of decline, and diminish the scientific workforce, making it ill-equipped to meet the needs of industry and society. Long-term, they would devastate the U.S. technological enterprise.
The American Physical Society, alongside our partners at the American Association of Physics Teachers, American Astronomical Society, Council on Undergraduate Research, National Society of Black Physicists, National Society of Hispanic Physicists, SPIE (The International Society for Optics and Photonics), and Sigma Pi Sigma, ask you to take action in defense of DOD, DOE, NASA, NIST, and NSF science funding.
It’s time to advocate for science and scientists — and convince Congress to reject these cuts.
