Feminist March For Science Sign Ideas

by Suzannah Weiss

The next major nationwide protest to take place is the March for Science, an event expressing opposition to Trump administration policies that fly in the face of scientific facts. That's on April 22 (which is also Earth Day), so now is a good time to start thinking about feminist March for Science sign ideas. If you're looking to stand up for feminism while you stand up for science, the internet is here to help with some awesome designs and slogans.

While the March for Science aims primarily toward protesting Trump's attacks on environmental protections, proposed budget cuts for scientific research, and threats to get rid of the Environmental Protection Agency, there's also a lot of overlap between supporting good science and supporting women and gender-nonconforming people. After all, it's often through denial of science that lawmakers restrict access to abortion and birth control, invalidate LGBTQ people's identities, and claim that oppressive gender roles are "natural." Plus, the March for Science is a great day to celebrate the often ignored scientific contributions of women, LGBTQ people, and racial minorities.

Here are some signs — and tweets that could inspire signs — that you can use to stand up for feminism at the March for Science.
