In 2017, over one million of us gathered in cities across the globe in the name of science. In 2018, we're coming together again, but this time, Fitchburg, MA will be among the many mobilizing cities defending and advocating for science, discovery, and advancement.

Science is essential for human health, success, safety, and the common good. This is a non-partisan event with a mission to show our legislators our support and demand for science-based policy and to defend research and data against recent attacks and censorship.

Join us to listen to speakers from the community discuss the importance of diversity in the sciences, well-funded research, and the need for evidence-based policy, especially for climate change and human safety. A 0.6 mi march in downtown Fitchburg will follow to show the community our support. Riverfront Park -> Boulder Dr. -> Newton Pl. -> Main St. -> Mill St. -> Riverfront Park.

Special thanks to Chaibo for allowing attendees to use their restroom & and to WXPL 91.3 for supplying audio services.
