Stand up for Science

  • More than 100 Missoula scientists and activists protested Trump administration actions they consider anti-science on Saturday, March 7 outside the Missoula courthouse. Members of Missoula’s “Singing Resistance” activist group led protest attendees in science-themed songs. Four people stand in front of the Missoula courthouse holding papers and singing beneath a red banner that reads “Stand Up for Science.” One person holds a sign reading “Singing Resistance,” as they appear to lead songs during the protest.

Attendees at this year’s Stand Up for Science event said the damage from those actions has, in their view, been devastating.
