Join AGU for Days of Action This Spring:
As scientists, we must unite to show strong support for sustained investment in Earth and space sciences and highlight the dangers of cutting research funding and weakening the U.S. federal workforce.
Join AGU to meet with your legislators in Washington, DC to advocate for strong support of science and to share your story about the impacts of recent cuts to the federal scientific workforce and funding for scientific research. Participants will arrange their own travel and lodging. AGU staff will set up meetings and help prepare you to meet with your legislators.
The deadline to apply is 9 May 2025. For additional information about the event, check out our FAQ guide below, or contact us at [email protected].
Whether you are coming to Washington, DC in June to meet with your legislators, or planning to set up a district meeting in August, we are here to help prepare you.

A clear message and request are key when working with policymakers. AGU has provided background information for a request for strong science funding, legislation that would help reduce impacts to federal science staff, and one-page documents you can email or print and share with legislators.
