Keith’s note: Last week there was a NASA budget cut protest rally at NASA Glenn in Cleveland. (News story). Now there will be a NASA budget protest event at NASA HQ in Washington, DC next Monday from 7-11 am. (this graphic is their official poster). This event has a formal permit with Metro DC Police. Organizers will not prevent or dissuade anyone from entering HQ but will raise awareness about NASA budget cuts. More information here: https://sites.google.com/view/nasa-needs-help.

According to the organizers:
About:
This is NOT a picket line. We will not attempt to prevent or dissuade anyone from entering the building. The intent of this protest is to raise public awareness and provide information about present and near-future cuts at NASA, and to DEMAND that the Trump administration, including OMB and DOGE, cease all pressure on NASA to make cuts until Congress has had an opportunity to pass the next budget. We just want to give Congress time.
Who can share, and who can attend:
Anyone can share this event. Be VERY careful not to do so on government time or using government resources, and to make sure you can’t be construed as representing the government.
Anyone can attend this event. NASA personnel attending this event should be off-duty, such as using leave, and should take care that they cannot be construed as representing the government.

I wish the protesters the greatest success! Definitely a protest worthy of something!
For anyone attending, please keep your head on a swivel and stay safe!
