DOGE says they are saving 4 billion, but...

➡️ Every dollar in NIH research grants generates $2.46 in economic activity ($93 billion in 2023!)
➡️ The $1.7 trillion US biotech industry depends on public-funded science
➡️ Both of those fund a $57 billion US market for scientific tools and equipment
America will pay dearly for the NIH’s mindless war on wokeness and DEI
Colleges, businesses, patients, students, workers, and US excellence will all suffer—and for what?

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

All: If there is only one thing to remember in the coming days, it's this:

** Do not obey in advance. **

You all: Fred Rogers said the whole "look for the helpers" thing to kids.

We're adults. We need to take more ownership for actually *being* the helpers.
