As I discussed in Talking Climate last year, research shows a four-day work week boosts productivity and well-being — AND cuts carbon! One study, for example, found a 10% drop in hours = 8.6% drop in emissions. So Jack's question below is a good one: why aren't we advocating for this more?

Drawdown of existing allocated funds should be okay; what's frozen are any new "funding actions"—yearly increments, additions to subawards, etc. Additionally, non-monetary actions like a no cost extension should still be possible.

4/4 But please don't stop with social media. The NSF union letter has some great messaging tips for making calls & media outreach too (see below). And don't underestimate the importance of engaging your local communities and media, esp representatives. The time for action is RIGHT NOW!!
NSF programming keeps America’s youth ahead in securing the jobs of the future.
• We fund programs that integrate science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) into early learning. Structured activities help children learn and
be curious or interested in these areas at an early age. We fund programs that train
teachers to deliver best-in-class STEM education to K-12 students, making STEM
relevant and engaging to kids of all ages.

• NSF programs often provide support for teachers in terms of teaching aids but also
offering increased competency, impact and quality of teaching through training,
access to curricula, and supplementing salaries.
• NSF’s support to K-12 schools, community colleges, and other postsecondary
training opportunities helps produce talented and skilled job seekers that are
needed by leading American industries (many of which currently report a lack of
qualified applicants).
NSF programs create jobs and fuel the economy in all 50 states.

• The overwhelming majority of the funding that Congress allocates to NSF is
redistributed via awards to organizations around the USA. Operating costs consume
only a small percentage of the budget.
• Local communities are benefactors of the jobs created by organizations receiving
funding through NSF grants. This includes programs that support small businesses,
and startups.
• As a result of the ongoing attacks on science, millions of hard-working Americans
will potentially lose their livelihoods, health insurance, and slide into poverty.Sample Call Script:
Hi, my name is _______________ and I am calling about recent cuts to NSF grants. These
cuts were made by political appointees, without input from the non-political scientists and
program staff. I strongly oppose cuts to programs that are critical to American innovation,
national security, and leadership. I urge/demand Congressman/Senator
____________________ to do everything in his/her power to protect NSF funding and stop the
politicization of science.For use with outreach to local reporters (print, TV, radio)
Good Morning,
National Science Foundation grants in [our area] are under attack. [My organization]
is at risk of losing/recently received notice that we lost $X in funding.
The funds we receive from NSF allow us to [brief program description, in layman’s
terms]. [Include 2-3 sentences about how the local community benefits from your
work].
I would be happy to tell you more about how our work impacts our community and
the effect loss of funding will have on [Community Name]. Please let me know if I
can provide you with more information or if you would like to talk.
Sincerely,
NameSample Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
I am writing to express concern about the politicization of science in our nation. For
almost 75 years, the National Science Foundation has funded scientific research,
national security, innovation and leadership across our nation. It has helped ensure
global dominance and drive the American economy.
Recently, NSF grants have been cut with no warning and no rationale other than “to
protect the interests of the government.” Even more troubling, canceled programs
are being deleted from databases as if they never existed.
The American people take tremendous pride in our scientific leadership. Science
should inspire wonder, expand our economy, and position our nation as the global
leader. It should not be used as a political weapon.
Sincerely,
Name
