About Us

 We are a peaceful protest group, and we stand in solidarity with other scientific advocacy groups.

Current NASA leadership is already acting on the President’s and OMB’s proposed budget by beginning to greatly reduce the number of civil servants and contractors, which will be detrimental to the mission of this Agency.  Cuts to NASA's science budget will drastically hinder NASA's ability to produce science from current and future missions.  To win the Space Race to the Moon, NASA was prioritized and appropriated $68 billion in 1965 alone (adjusted for inflation). In 2026, with goals to reach Mars, NASA's proposed budget is only $18.8 billion. Some of the cuts to NASA science involve turning off spacecraft that are already in space and actively sending back data.  NASA contributes to agriculture, weather predictions, and safety.  Without NASA Earth science, early detection for natural disasters and forecasting would be imprecise and difficult.

Folks have been asking who is organizing this event, and that's a really fair question. We know that people feel more comfortable joining protests organized by established groups.

And the truth is, we're not an established group. Our events are being organized by a collection of people who love NASA and are watching it be cut to pieces. Because the harm is happening now and on a near daily basis, we haven't really had time to do everything the "right" way, such as by forming a named group with a proper website, or partnering with well-known organizations. The people organizing this protest are just folks who jumped in to help make a statement, because we think that NASA won't be the same if we don't act now.

Don't let that fool you. Some of us organizers have experience not only protesting, but helping to organize past protests as part of established organizations. Our events are not organized through such organizations, but we do have some talent and experience in-house. Even so, we are doing this with no significant resources. We're not sugar-coating anything here.

We understand that the lack of a well-established, persistent group may be off-putting. If you would rather not join our protests then there are still ways you can help.

And thank you.
