APA Marches for Science

APA Marches for Science
APA marchers joined tens of thousands of advocates in support of science in Washington, D.C., and hundreds of locations around the world

APA advocated in force for psychological science at the March for Science in Washington, D.C., on Saturday April 22, 2017. In addition to the march itself, APA's advocacy efforts included training on effective science advocacy, recorded and available on this page. Its psychological science advocacy efforts continue after the march as it fulfills its mission of advancing psychology to benefit society and improve people's lives.

March for Science participants describe why they support science in general and psychological science in particular — and how to continue the advocacy effort after the march.
