PARTNERING WITH THE UCS SCIENCE NETWORK

The UCS Science Network aims to build a science advocacy movement by collaborating with partners to provide tools, training, and networking opportunities for scientists. The network emphasizes anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion, seeking to build equitable partnerships between scientists and frontline communities. Recent successes include the 2022 Science Advocacy Movement Building School, the Science and Civics Guide for the 2022 midterm elections, and various workshops on power mapping and community advocacy conducted with organizations such as the National Science Policy Network and the American Geophysical Union.

• The UCS Science Network provides partners with resources including tools for amplifying organizational reach, shared branding, access to other partners' resources, and training to build science advocacy skills.
• In 2022, the network established the Science Advocacy Movement Building School, which brought together professionals from 15 different groups to learn power-building practices for science advocacy in service of communities.
• The Science Rising campaign collaborated with the Students Learn, Students Vote coalition for the 2022 midterm elections to produce a Science and Civics Guide and a "train the trainer" program.
• The network has conducted specific workshops on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and community advocacy, including a power mapping series with the National Science Policy Network and a session at the 2022 SACNAS National Diversity in STEM Conference.
