David--
The Union of Concerned Scientists has been fighting for a healthier planet and putting science-based solutions into action for more than 50 years.
Working together with our members and supporters, we’re building the power needed to restore science to its rightful place in our democracy, and we’re confident our most important accomplishments lie ahead.
Check out these recent victories that UCS supporters and members like you made possible:
Victory #1: Scientific integrity codified in US government
We have led the demand for independent, impartial science informing federal policies since 2004, when we coined the term “scientific integrity.” A recently signed presidential memo now includes numerous UCS recommendations on restoring federal science. Read more about it on the UCS blog. Victory #2: First statewide electric truck standard
With detailed analysis, active engagement by our experts, and more, we helped move the California Air Resources Board to pass the first statewide electric truck sales standard for truck manufacturers. This is the biggest step to-date for electric trucks, and every diesel truck replaced with an electric truck has an immediate positive impact on public health. Share the great news on Twitter. Victory #3: Stopped EPA from banning science advice
We joined an individual advisory committee member in suing the Enivronmental Protection Agency over a policy that banned many of the nation’s top environmental scientists from serving on the agency’s science advisory committees. Several other organizations also filed separate lawsuits challenging the directive. In a win for independent science, a federal court of appeals found that the EPA has a responsibility to ensure that committees are protected from special interest influence. Learn more.
I hope you’re proud of these victories, David. By joining the UCS community, they’re what your support can make possible when we stand up for science together.
Sincerely,
Karla Capers
Director of Engagement
