Join the movement.

The White House budget proposes historic cuts to science funding. Now is the time to mobilize and stand strong on behalf of science.

For more than 150 years the American Association for the Advancement of Science has played an important role in influencing policymakers — and we are only getting stronger. With a growing membership our movement quickens, and we become an even greater force for science.

Become a member of AAAS right now for as low as just $50. Upgrade to print membership for $19 and also receive a free t-shirt.

Here are just a few of the many initiatives your membership will support:

  • Collaboration with 60 scientific societies (and counting) to urge Congress to reject anti-science policies
  • A national Op-ed campaign by members and academics
  • Briefing Capitol Hill staffers on the importance of science funding
  • Congressional district visits by scientists
