Our policy and advocacy team partner with scientists, former civil servants, and organizations  to turn science and grassroots energy into action. We serve as a trusted resource and channel for the scientific community, especially for individuals and groups sidelined and silenced or never had a real seat at the table. We advocate for these voices through strategic convenings on Capitol Hill, independent policy analysis, and direct engagement with members of Congress.

Our activities are designed to reinforce each other:

• Congressional briefings and engagements. We convene targeted briefings for Members of Congress and their staff, creating safe and credible spaces for scientists, civil servants to share firsthand accounts of political interference and their impact.

• Policy analysis and position papers. We transform insights and expertise into independent policy analyses and position papers that propose concrete and actionable solutions.

• Strategic advocacy. We build advocacy efforts that amplify voices, build coalitions that create the pressure for Congress and decision-makers to take action.
