Revitalize Federal Sci/Tech Support

Launched by Graduate Workers of Columbia, the union for research and teaching assistants at Columbia University.

Why Petition?

The government’s support for non-defense research has now been stagnant for a decade, after decades of growth under administrations of both parties. Federal funding is a necessary component of the nation’s place at the vanguard of science and technology, and intellectual workers are uniting to restore growth to these ambitious and vital endeavors.
