Who We Are, What We Fight For: AGU and the Administration’s First 100 Days

Today is Day 100 of the U.S. Administration. Media pundits, policymakers, and legal scholars are all marking this with a wide range of analysis and discussion. But we can also measure these first 100 days in actions of care, support, and leadership.

AGU is committed to a global partnership that amplifies and supports science lifting the needs and voices of our members. Our approach these past 100 days is just a part of our past 106 years.

We are living in challenging times, but these are days filled with opportunities to speak up and speak out. And I am so proud of how AGU members and leaders all around the world have come together.

Whether it’s extending waivers for membership fees, surveying and sharing stories of impact, offering a wide range policy trainings and advocacy opportunities, offering career guidance courses, continuing convenings to share science at Chapman conferences, signing on as plaintiffs in court actions to defend U.S. federal employees, or aligning with academic partners to provide a nominations portal to the IPCC, AGU is meeting the moment…lots and lots of moments.

The global scientific enterprise is who we are and what we fight for. We are seeing how events in the U.S. are affecting all corners of the world.

These moments, this work, this need, will continue. We thank all of you for your continued dedication. We welcome your ideas. We need your resourcefulness.

AGU is all of us, no matter the border or language. Let’s work together to shape the days and years ahead with meaning, purpose, and impact.
