NOAA Demonstration

When: 3/3 @ 11:45am
Where: Outside NOAA - NIST "campus" on South Broadway, just a bit South of the intersection with Baseline Road 

Signs will be welcome: per notes below they are thinking "Trust Science" and "Honor Public Servants".

From Former U.S. Representative - David Skaggs 

"Dear Friends,

I imagine we are all deeply troubled by the largely lawless and undemocratic actions being taken by the Trump Administration. What to do?

Have no illusion that citizen protests alone will turn things around. However, speaking out can bolster the efforts of those in elected office who are opposing the incremental destruction of the democracy. And those in public service who simply want to do their jobs. And provide some sense of purpose for the rest of us, lest we acquiesce.

Therefore, you may wish to join me on Monday, March 3, at 11:45 to take a stand for what we believe outside the NOAA-NIST "campus" on South Broadway, just a bit south of the intersection with Baseline Rd. Those who work at the NOAA labs are at the forefront of understanding and tackling climate change. Signs will be welcome: I'm thinking of "Trust Science" and "Honor Public Servants". (Thanks to an amendment by Republican colleagues as I was leaving the House in 1998, I have a personal interest because the NOAA building bears my name.) I have filed a permit application with the City of Boulder, although it's not clear any permit is or can be required for such protected 1st Amendment activity. The Boulder Police have asked that I call them Monday morning as a precaution.

Thank you for your friendship and consideration. Please share this with anyone you think might be interested."
