Stand Up for Science @ Civic Center Plaza
Mar 7 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Join a  STAND UP FOR SCIENCE rally in San Francisco or Sacramento (and nationwide) to defend science as a public good and pillar of social, political, and economic progress.

Organizers are calling on policymakers, institutions, and the scientific community to uphold the integrity of science, protect its accessibility, and ensure its benefits serve all people.   Stand Up for Science proposes the following policy actions:

1. Secure and Expand Scientific Funding

Publicly funded science drives innovation, strengthens the economy, and improves lives.  We demand:

  • Restoration of Federal Research Funding: Reinstate federal funding for scientific research across all disciplines to FY-2024 levels and commit a 20% increase in federal scientific funding over the next three years followed by annual increases indexed to inflation to ensure sustained scientific advancement.
  • Reinstatement of Wrongfully Dismissed Federal Employees: Rehire all unlawfully terminated scientists and administrators at federal agencies (including NSF, NIH, CDC, EPA, NOAA, NPS, NWS, FWS, and FDA) with full back pay and benefits.
  • Removal of  the 15% cap on indirect funding for NIH-funded grants and reinstatement of indirect funding policies as they existed prior to January 1, 2025. 

2. End Censorship and Political Interference in Science

Science thrives on open inquiry and evidence-based decision-making.  We demand:

  • An End to Government Censorship: Prohibit all forms of political censorship in scientific research, including restrictions on the topics of scientific research that are eligible for federal funding.
  • Restoration of Public Access to Scientific Information: Restore all scientific data, reports, and resources on federal websites to pre-January 31st, 2025 status, ensuring full public access to primary scientific sources.
  • Protection of Research Independence: Mandate legal safeguards against political interference to preserve the integrity of federal research and communication.
  • A Commitment to Freedom of Scientific Expression: Protect scientists’ rights to communicate their findings freely, without fear of retaliation or suppression.

3. Defend Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in Science

Science is strongest when it includes everyone. Attacks on DEIA initiatives are attacks on science itself.   We demand:

  • Preservation of Equitable Access to STEM: Maintain and expand federal programs that broaden participation in STEM training and careers.
  • Protection for Minoritized Scientists: Enforce anti-discrimination protections for minoritized scientists to ensure equitable participation and impact.
  • Reinstatement of DEIA Initiatives: Restore all DEIA programs within federal agencies to pre-January 1, 2025 status, ensuring continued progress toward equity.

Science is for everyone.  Science keeps us safe, and enables us to live longer, healthier lives.  Stand Up for Science calls on leaders at every level, regardless of political affiliation, to champion and protect scientific research, education, and communication—for the progress, prosperity, and well-being of all.

SAN FRANCISCO: EMERGENCY PROTEST! STOP THE GENOCIDE!! @ Israeli Consulate
Mar 18 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
SAN FRANCISCO: EMERGENCY PROTEST! STOP THE GENOCIDE!!

HANDS OFF GAZA! HANDS OFF PALESTINE! HANDS OFF YEMEN! HANDS OFF LEBANON!

Israel has resumed its brutal genocide and all out war on the Palestinian people in Gaza with full backing of the US Government.

The US administration has confirmed that they were consulted on Israel’s latest aggression. The US government, with its unwavering political and economic support, is directly responsible for this escalation against Gaza and the ongoing genocide.

Join us to demand an arms embargo against apartheid Israel. We can, we must, and we will confront this moment and what it requires of us despite attempts to criminalize what has become the largest anti war movement in history. The fight for a free Palestine is the fight for the freedom of us all.

May Day Events @ All over United States
May 1 all-day

Over the last three months, we’ve seen unprecedented attacks on working people and the fabric of our civil society – mass firings of federal workers, budgets gutted, crucial regulatory frameworks dismantled, horrifying attacks on the civil rights of our migrant neighbors, imperialist bloviating by the president from Greenland to Gaza…the list could go on.\

But something else is happening too. Across the country – from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta – working people are rising up to fight back.

Next THURSDAY, MAY 1st – international workers’ day – we’re taking to the streets in hundreds of cities across the country to say ENOUGH

We refuse to accept a society that forces us into debt for our healthcare, housing, and education; that asks us to accept the deportation of our neighbors as the norm; that allows our labor to be exploited to line the pockets of the ultra rich. Not on our watch.

Join us in the streets on May Day? Here’s how: 

1. RSVP to join our national Hitting the Streets for May Day call this Saturday, April 26 at 3PM ET / 12PM PT and learn how you can meet us (and millions of others) in the streets on May 1st.

2. Can’t make it to Saturday’s call? Complete our May Day Action Pledge & we’ll send you a May Day toolkit this weekendWhen you fill out the pledge form, be sure to let us know if you want to meet up with Debt Collective members at an action near you! 

 

3. Last but certainly not least, be sure to FIND A LOCAL MAY DAY ACTION TO JOIN – you can find the ones near you check at the May Day action aggregators linked just below (Mobilize & Action Network) ⬇️

But we’re not backing down.

This May Day, we rise together — workers, immigrants, families — in solidarity and in defiance. We know our strength is in each other. We know this fight isn’t just about one policy or one politician, it’s about building a future where everyone can thrive.

ALL OUT FOR NAKBA 77 — THE PEOPLE STAND WITH PALESTINE!
May 17 @ 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm
For 77 years, the Palestinian people have been subjected to genocide, siege, dispossession, and forced displacement, enduring unfathomable brutality at the hands of the zionist colonial project. This year, the Palestinian people commemorate the 77th year of ongoing Nakba under the zionist entity’s murderous genocidal conditions. For the past two months, the zionist entity has imposed a complete siege on Gaza, barring the entrance of any food, water or medicine despite worsening conditions and international outcry. As the zionist entity continues its bombing campaign, murdering hundreds every single week and destroying any remains of Gaza’s civil infrastructure, a mass death campaign of famine and malnutrition is imminent.

Yet, despite decades of zionist aggression, for 77 years, Palestinians continue to resist, fighting for their land, their liberation, and their return. As the genocide in Gaza intensifies, violence in the West Bank escalates, and attacks on our movement grow, now is the time to show the ruling class that the world rejects Zionism—and that the masses stand with Palestine.

This Nakba 77 March will bring together people from across the world to demand:
1️⃣ An end to the genocide in Gaza;
2️⃣ A full and immediate two-way arms embargo on Israel;
3️⃣ The release of all Palestinian political prisoners;
4️⃣ Immediate humanitarian aid and reconstruction for Gaza;
5️⃣ An end to the Zionist occupation of all Palestinian land.

In Palestine and in exile, the struggle for liberation continues. We refuse to be silenced. We call on all Palestinians, and on every person of conscience, to march with us this May 17 for a free Palestine. Your voice, your presence, and your solidarity are needed now more than ever.

Emergency protests: ICE visits courthouses across California
May 28 @ 9:30 am – 10:30 am

Right now, ICE agents are ramping up operations inside immigration courts across the country. On Friday, California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice released a press statement alerting us that court buildings in San Francisco, Concord, and Sacramento have seen ICE agents asking people for their names and IDs, and even coordinating with ICE attorneys inside the courtroom to try to get cases dismissed, just to arrest people as they walk out. This aggressive tactic is a direct threat to due process and justice, putting families and communities at risk.

While this is a terrifying development we want to instill “power, not panic,” reminding everyone that people in immigration proceedings have rights, and that help is available through local Rapid Response Networks (www.ccijustice.org/carrn) and court accompaniment programs. For more information read the full press release here.

This is the moment to show up. Stand with immigrant community members under attack. Raise your voice. Take action. Let’s move forward together.

How to Fight Back

Join An Emergency Press Conference Near You, Wednesday May 28, 9:30 AM: We need as many people as possible to send a message that when you come for one of us you come for all of us. We will not tolerate ICE coming to courts. We need as many people as possible to show up and stand in solidarity at these important actions.

THE BAY AREA DEMANDS: ICE OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES!
Jun 9 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

The people of Los Angeles have courageously stood up against Trump’s reign of terror against immigrant families. In response, the administration has deployed the National Guard and heavily militarized federal troops in an attempt to spread terror and intimidate people out of exercising their right to protest.

But we refuse to be silenced! The people of the Bay Area demand ICE get out of our communities, stop the deportations, and stop the raids.

For those who believe in immigrant rights, for those who believe in democracy, for the entire working class – now is the time to take to the streets in protest!

No Kings Day: Nationwide Day of Defiance @ See text
Jun 14 all-day

Find actions near you here.

You can be a part of the massive outpouring of opposition on No Kings  Day: Nationwide Day of Defiance on Flag Day, during Trump’s birthday military parade in Washington, DC.

Called by Indivisible and a huge coalition of partner organizations, local activists, pro-democracy and pro-worker  organizations will come together for marches, rallies, and demonstrations. Trump’s military parade will not be the big story of the day—we will!

As the call to  action  says,  “Donald Trump wants tanks in the streets and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday.  A spectacle meant to look like strength.  But real power isn’t staged in Washington — it rises up everywhere else.”

The organizers make clear that all events will include a commitment to nonviolence and de-escalating conflicts.
