Stop Trump's Science Brain Drain.

America's top scientific minds are fleeing — and Donald Trump is driving them away.

Trump's relentless attacks on research funding, academic freedom, and scientific integrity have triggered a national emergency. Scientists aren't just leaving their labs — they're leaving the country. Rolling Stone warns of an "alarming" exodus. Britain's The Times calls it a "global tug-of-war" for America's best talent. Fortune reports a surge in U.S. scientists applying for jobs overseas.

If we don't fight back now, we risk losing a generation of innovation. Breakthroughs in medicine, clean energy, and technology — everything that powers our future — are on the line. Every brilliant mind lost to Trump's anti-science crusade weakens our country and strengthens our competitors. We must demand immediate action.

The House Science, Space, and Technology Committee and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation must launch emergency hearings, restore critical research funding, defend academic freedom, and reaffirm America's leadership in science. Congress holds the power to turn this around — but only if we demand it.

We cannot allow ignorance and fear to replace discovery and progress. We cannot stand by while our future is shipped overseas. Every day we wait, another brilliant mind slips away.

Sign the petition now to demand Congress stop Trump's science brain drain and defend America's future before it's too late!
