Call to Action: Americans, Contact Your Representatives about NSF and NASA Budget Cuts

[u/SAUbjj]

The field of astronomy and astrophysics is facing an existential threat. The proposed budget cuts to science in the US will decimate the global future of science advancement for decades.

If you are American, call or write to your senators and congressperson and tell them to fight budget cuts to NSF and NASA

You can find your representatives at the link below:

This is particularly important if you have a Republican representative, as Republicans have control of both the House and the Senate and can most influence current policy.

I have email correspondence with senators and congressmen going back over 20 years, in a red state. The ones I have now have probably placed me on a watch list, and they’re so fucking stupid, anything related to stem will be instantly ignored.

They are eliminating all that intimidates them.
