This Earth Day, April 22, Candler Park will host March for Science Atlanta, a sister march to the one being held in Washington D.C.

Upwards of 300 cities across the world will be participating in the “March for Science,” and “thousands of makers, scientists and truth-seekers” are expected to participate in Atlanta.

The event announcement says, “It is time for people who support scientific research and evidence-based policies to take a public stand and be counted.”

Attendees can buy official March for Science Atlanta merchandise to wear at https://marchforscienceatlanta.myshopify.com/. All proceeds are donated to the march.
