Defend Science We have launched an ad hoc emergency initiative from – and reaching out
to – scientists in various fields, science educators, science writers, etc. Coming from a diversity
of perspectives, we are extremely concerned about the current attack on science, including on
its very foundation in scientific method and thinking. Our goal is to mobilize scientists and
issue this public call, "Defend Science," whose purpose is nothing less than to bring society
wide attention to the real issues and the real stakes. Web: http://defendscience.org/

Defending Justice: An Activist Resource Kit An Activist Resource Kit that helps
progressive activists understand and resist the Right, the State, and other forces that
contribute to the growing system of courts, surveillance, policing, and incarceration. The easyto-use
chapters and factsheets are useful tools to draw upon in leading discussions and talking
to the press. Through dialog and thinking together, we can create the best strategies for
challenging the criminal justice system. Web: http://www.defendingjustice.org/
