Over the past little while, things have been quieter than usual at Science in Solidarity — and that’s been intentional.

As many of you know, this work has always been rooted in the belief that lasting change requires more than urgency alone. It requires relationships, shared leadership, and structures that can sustain people for the long haul.

Behind the scenes, we’ve been taking time to reflect, regroup, and build more sustainable foundations for the future of this work. That means thinking carefully about how we organize, how we share leadership, how we support one another, and how we create an organization that can grow without burning people out.

And while some things have been quieter publicly, a lot is happening.

We’re currently building out a new leadership team within Science in Solidarity to help move different parts of the organization forward — including strategy, community care, organizing infrastructure, materials development, and political education. We’re especially excited about building a model rooted in collective leadership, shared ownership, and long-term movement building.

This next chapter is about creating pathways for more people to meaningfully shape and lead this work together.

If you’ve been looking for ways to get involved, now is a great time.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be inviting people into conversations about:

• helping shape organizational strategy and direction,

• supporting community organizing and mutual aid efforts,

• developing educational and training materials,

• building systems that support sustainable collective action, and

• growing a stronger network of scientists and allies committed to solidarity and justice.

If any of that feels exciting to you — or if you simply want to reconnect and learn more about where things are headed — we’d love to hear from you. Reply to this email to get involved.

Thank you for continuing to believe in this work, even through quieter seasons. Sustainable movements are built not only in moments of visibility, but also in the slower work of relationship-building, reflection, and creating structures strong enough to carry us forward together.

In solidarity,
Science in Solidarity Core Leader Team (Bridget, Isabella, & Nic)
