Co-op Calendar 

The Humboldt March for Science is on Saturday - April 22, 2017

The Science Expo is open to the public from 9 am - 1:30 pm at the D Street Neighborhood Center. Community members can learn about science-based programs and issues, such as Klamath River dam removal, climate change implications to Humboldt Bay, college and high school science clubs, water and air quality and health care. Coffee, tea and light breakfast fare will be available. 

At 2 pm, there will be a rally featuring diverse speakers from our community, including scientists, teachers, students, politicians and Tribal members. The stage will be in the D Street cul-de-sac. Seating will be available near the stage for the elderly and community members with special needs. 

Join the march through Arcata at 3 pm. While the exact route has yet to be determined, it will be about 20 blocks long and include the Plaza area. Following the march, join us at the D Street Neighborhood Center between 4 pm - 5 pm for break-out sessions for small group discussion. 

We encourage participation by community members of all ages and we look forward to seeing lots of creative signs, hats and costumes. The event will be filmed and we encourage rally and march signs to include science-based material. March Marshals will be awarding random prizes for creative and unique posters and signs. 

In addition there will be face-painting by Butterfly Body Art for kids of all ages during the science expo portion of this event, plus a few food truck options on site. 

Please Note: The Humboldt March for Science is a drug and alcohol free event. Please leave your furry friends at home, and do not bring glass containers. Limited parking will be available on the HSU campus, just north of the D Street Neighborhood Center. Please consider carpooling, taking the bus, walking or biking to the event. 

The Humboldt March for Science is an educational, peaceful, non-violet, inclusive event encouraging solidarity, involvement, and interaction from a diverse community of thinkers who hold science to be valuable in this complex, inter-connected world.
