Keep the momentum going! You can continue to be a strong voice for science and build dialogue with your neighbors, community members, legislators, and others about science and its value. Here are some ways to keep engaged:
View or download our Five-Week Action Plan.
TODAY:
Share videos, photos, and impressions from the March with AGU!
Tweet @theAGU or share on Instagram
Hashtags: #ScienceIsEssential #MarchforScience #ScienceServes
Submit photos and videos to AGU’s Tumblr (check the hashtag March for Science when you submit).
WEEK ONE:
Tell AGU your story of science and its impact on society, so we can share it even more broadly.
WEEK TWO:
Send a Science Is Essential postcard to your legislators, or host a postcard-writing party to encourage colleagues and friends to write and send them too. You can also request a printed Science is Essential postcard (bulk requests accepted, while supplies last).
WEEK THREE:
Congress is starting to consider funding for fiscal year 2018 (October 2017 – September 2018), including setting priorities for science. Urge your members of Congress to ensure America’s scientific enterprise remains strong by providing robust funding for our science agencies. Take a few minutes to voice your support for science!
WEEK FOUR:
Sign up to find a group of like-minded AGU members in your area with whom to take action and continue communicating science and its value. Or form your own group with colleagues and friends.
WEEK FIVE:
Talk with your community about science and its impact on your region. You can give a talk, invite a community group on a lab tour or field trip, or engage in many other ways. Want some guidelines?
- Check out AGU’s webinar on “What’s your science message?” to help talk about your science in a clear and compelling way.
- Print a copy of our communication tips and tools and our crafting your message worksheet.
- Look into potential audiences and how to contact them.
- Learn more on how to spot and avoid jargon.
- Check out the rest of AGU’s Sharing Science pages for more resources, or contact us with any questions.
