We’re a growing community of researchers, educators, and science-adjacent workers who believe that science should serve the public good—not corporate profits or authoritarian power. We know that the future of science is tied to the future of democracy. When we defend each other, we defend knowledge itself.
Right now, authoritarian forces are consolidating power and trying to divide us—by race, by class, by expertise. Universities are being bullied into silence, public institutions are being gutted, and scientists are told to stay “neutral.” But neutrality has never protected truth. It just isolates us from the communities we should be standing with.
That’s why Scientists in Solidarity exists: to bring scientists and their allies into collective action. We host Action Hours to help people move from worry to purpose, trainings to build shared political analysis and organizing skills, and coalition spaces to connect our work with others fighting for democracy and justice.
We’re organizing to block the consolidation of authoritarian power—and to build a science-society interface that works for everyone, not just those at the top. A science rooted in care, solidarity, and liberation. Because what we’re facing isn’t just a funding crisis—it’s a crisis of meaning, belonging, and purpose. And we can only rebuild it together.
