Jessica Thomas, Union of Concerned Scientists

Event Flyer Event Flyer

Join the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) and Engaging Scientists in Policy and Advocacy (ESPA) for a discussion and letter writing party on the critical role science plays in equitable federal protections.  

We’ll discuss the current state of science in policymaking, review some of the best ways to get attention for the issues, and then write letters that inform the public and your policymakers about those issues. 
 
When: Thursday, April 11, 5-6:30pm 
Where: Earl Lewis Room in the Rackham Graduate School (915 E. Washington Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48109) 
What to bring: a laptop and/or notebook and an appetite for science policy and snacks 
Food, drinks, resources and support to write your letters will be provided. 
 
From the proposed rollbacks to the Chemical Facility Safety and air quality rules to inaction on highly fluorinated chemicals (PFAS) at the Environmental Protection Agency, the effects of federal decisions have great bearing on the health and safety of the people of Michigan, particularly
on already overburdened populations. But proactive solutions do exist.  
 
Don’t have time to write a letter?  
Stop by and sign a postcard to your members of Congress and make sure they know their science-loving constituents are counting on them to lead on our health, safety, and environmental protections.
