This administration wants obedience.
We choose liberty.
They want silent submission.
We choose civil disobedience.

The government said “no.”
The Constitution says “yes.”
On 10/18, the people of Georgia say “watch us.”

They called the No Kings march “anti-American.”
Translation: “We’re terrified people are paying attention.”
When leaders fear the public, it’s not hate — it’s history repeating itself.

They said “never again” after Hitler’s Nazi Germany. Yet here – in the United States in 2025, immigrants vanish under the same language of “security” and “order.”
Authoritarian regimes always start with dehumanization. This is not the sequel to a movie. It’s reality and it’s happening now.

“We're not paid protestors; we're the opposite,” says Kat, an Atlanta local volunteer “The logistics behind a protest cost money. Parking or coming in on MARTA costs money. Building banners or signs to hold costs money. But not doing it would cost us – all of us – a lot more.”

Science and public research are under attack in this country. Indiscriminate cuts to federal research agencies and political interference are causing research studies to be paused, programs halted, and communications muzzled.

Join us Saturday when we stand up for science!

A flyer for a protest featuring a picture of hands holding up a sign that says "Sound Science Saves Lives" with a geometric circle in the background. Above the image, it says "August 16th, 10:30 - 11:30, 10th and Peachtree St." At the bottom are logos for sponsoring organizations.

Protests aren’t just noise they’re a vital part of democracy. They shine a light on injustice, amplify unheard voices, and demand accountability. Change rarely happens in silence. Will you join us on Saturday to make a stand for science?🧪🧬

What is happening in DC is an abuse of federal authority based on a manufactured crisis. Violent crime for 2024 in DC is down 35% from 2023, the lowest it’s been in 30+ years.

DC takeover versus reality
Trump says DC needs a federal takeover because crime is “out of control.” The data says otherwise: violent crime fell in 2024 and 2025 is tracking at multiyear lows. Policy should follow facts, not vibes. This isn’t about safety – it’s about power.
