We will be on a grassy area following some rain on Wednesday and Thursday so please be prepared for mud.
It is also likely to be very windy.
Our program will begin with speeches from local academics, students, and activists about the importance of pro-science policies and federal funding to their work.
Talks will run from shortly after 12:00 until approximately 2:45pm.
From there, the remainder of the event will shift into an opportunity to continue holding vigil with our signs, networking with each other and state officials, and taking individual actions to stand up for science.

Lyrics for Stand Up for Science anthem (will be performed at the beginning of the speaker program):
STAND UP FOR SCIENCE
(sung to the tune of 'This Land is Your Land' by Woody Guthrie)
Stand up for science-
No time for silence!
New cures for cancers-
We need more answers.
Hear our entreaties-
Cure diabetes.
Science is good for you and me!
Please do not besmirch
Our science research
Please know discovery
Will fuel recovery
And cure diseases:
Stop funding freezes!
Science is good for you and me.
And vaccination
Helps keep our nation
Happy and healthy
For poor and wealthy
This is a true fact
On which we must act.
Science is good for you and me.
For global warming,
The facts come swarming.
Climate denial-
It's suicidal!
You might deny it-
We just don't buy it.
Science is good for you and me.
Don't de-fund science-
Join our alliance!
New forms of energy-
It's time for synergy.
To protect our planet,
Science- don't ban it!!!
Science is good for you and me.
You huddled masses-
Come take our classes.
If you are yearning-
Come here for learning.
And after college-
Please share your knowledge.
Science is good for you and me.
Healthcare is our right,
For which we must fight.
Our vision's global
Our cause is noble.
It's our insistence-
Join the resistance!
Science is good for you and me.
