March for Science <b>April 22, 8am - 5pm</b>, National
Mall in DC
(<a href="https://www.marchforscience.com/">https://www.marchforscience.com/</a>)
March for Science and the Earth Day Network are
co-organizing a rally
and teach-in on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The
March for
Science is an international movement, led by organizers
distributed
around the globe. This movement is taking place because of
the
simultaneous realization by thousands of people who value
science in
their lives that staying silent is no longer an option.
There are
marches being planned across the United States and
internationally.
To date, marches are planned in Ohio: Columbus, Cleveland,
Dayton,
Cincinnati, Mansfield; and in West Virginia: Charleston,
Morgantown.</font></font></font></p>
