Tens of thousands hit Market Street in San Francisco on Saturday to march for science. My wife and I attended the lively event which was part of a nationwide call to celebrate Earth Day 2017.
Clever, sometimes funny posters criticized Donald Trump and raised alarms over his budget plan which would cut federal funds from research. The Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health would lose billions of dollars and critical technical research would also suffer in Silicon Valley.
Trump is not popular in California, which is the largest state of the Union. He is especially unpopular in the San Francisco area where 85% of the city’s eligible voters preferred Hillary Clinton; Trump got 10% of the votes.
