For Charlotte’s Earth Day celebration on Saturday April 22nd, the Charlotte Women’s March will actively demonstrate our support for science and the environment by joining the March for Science on April 22 on Marshall Park (800 E. Third Street, Charlotte) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Charlotte Women’s March speakers at the event include Jan Anderson, engineer; Heidi Preuss, environmental activist; Marsha Ford, physician; and Mickie Hall, pharmacist.
If you would like to volunteer, ask at the March for Science booth when you arrive.
CWM has a voter registration booth where we will gather before the March. Join us and show your support by wearing our T- shirt and marching behind our banner.
The March for Science is a celebration of our passion for science and a call to support and safeguard the scientific community. Recent policy changes have caused heightened worry among scientists. The incredible and immediate outpouring of support has made clear that these concerns are also shared by thousands around the world. This mis-characterization of science as a partisan issue, giving policymakers permission to reject overwhelming evidence, is a critical and urgent manner. It is time for people who support scientific research and evidence-based policies to take a public stand and be counted.
