Stand Up For Science to Hold ‘Rally to Take Back Science’ in Washington, DC on Saturday, March 7, 2026

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- One year after the movement-defining Stand Up For Science protest, organizers return to the streets calling for scientific integrity, public health protections, and democratic accountability.

Stand Up For Science will convene the Rally to Take Back Science on Saturday, March 7th, 2026, in Washington, DC. The event marks one year since the national day of protests in 2025 that launched Stand Up For Science and a new wave of science and democracy activism.

The Rally to Take Back Science will bring together scientists, health professionals, students, and community advocates demanding an end to the politicization of America's scientific ecosystem, the cornerstone of our democracy. We call for Congress to protect scientific integrity, evidence-based public health policy, and protections against political interference in government science.

“Science is not an abstract concept. It is the air we breathe, the water we drink, the medicines we rely on, and the systems that help keep communities safe,” said Colette Delawalla, Founder and CEO of Stand Up For Science. “The Trump Administration's attacks on science and public health are harming the American people. This rally is about defending the institutions and principles that protect lives and that uphold our democracy.

Stand Up For Science is calling for safeguards that protect scientists’ ability to communicate their findings, prevent censorship and retaliation, and ensure that research and public health decisions are guided by evidence and are serving the American people.

Delawalla is available for comment and media appearances.
