4811 May 4th RSVP and CA Bond Petition

Sign the Petition and RSVP

Join thousands of UC workers calling on Gov. Newsom to support California Science
On May 4th at 12pm, thousands of California scientists will rally in Sacramento to demand that Governor Gavin Newsom place the California Health & Science Research Bond on the 2026 ballot.

The California Health & Science Research Bond Act (SB 895) is a bill that would place a bond on the 2026 ballot to fund life-saving research at California institutions that is at risk of being cut by the Trump Administration. Scientists are fighting back and demanding that Californians, not the federal government, priotize what research is funded.

SB 895 is supported by a broad and growing coalition including the United Auto Workers (UAW), the Union of American Physicians and Dentists (UAPD), the University of California, the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson Research, and the ALS Society. You can learn more at SaveScienceSaveLives.com
