#TeslaTakedown Global Day of Action 03/28/2025

From the organizers:

Vermont is standing with #TeslaTakedown's March 29th Global Day of Action!

The Green Mountains bow to no King!

Elon Musk is destroying our democracy, and he's using the fortune he built at Tesla to do it. We are taking action at Tesla to stop Musk's illegal coup.

  • Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines.
  • We're tanking Tesla's stock price to stop Musk.
  • Stopping Musk will help save lives and protect our democracy.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. No one is coming to save us. Not politicians, not the media, not the courts.

Tesla Takedown is a peaceful protest movement. We oppose violence, vandalism and destruction of property. This protest is a lawful exercise of our First Amendment right to peaceful assembly.

Stand Up For Science March 03/07/2025

From the organizers:

Join us to Stand up for Science in Vermont and Nationwide! On Friday, March 7 we will be marching in Burlington to help spread the message of the vital role science plays in our lives and economy, with the intention of:

  • Securing and expanding scientific funding
  • Ending censorship and political interference in science
  • Defending diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in science

We also hope to educate Vermonters that federal research grants, including indirect costs, support local jobs. Anyone organizing or participating will do so as individuals and not on behalf of any institution. 

The goal of this peaceful march is to educate Vermonters, draw attention to the Trump administration's intentional crippling of our scientific infrastructure, and send a message that we will not accept this attack on scientific progress. We expect participants to abide by the laws of the City of Burlington and to be mindful of and not obstruct traffic along the route, as intersections will not be closed for this march.

Please visit the official website to hear more about the goals of the rally and for tips on how to prepare for participation. This includes making signs without sticks and ignoring agitators. https://standupforscience2025.org
