You! And another 2,000 scientists and supporters—if you haven’t already done so, please sign the petition and check the box to let us know you’re coming. To make a visual impact, we encourage you to wear or carry something that signifies science—for example, if you work in a lab, wear a lab coat; if you’re an astronomer, bring a telescope; or simply carry a banner with a picture of something scientific you love.
WHAT

We have a great line up of speakers lined up, including Colin Blakemore, Ben Goldacre, Simon Singh, and some fantastic entertainers.

Please enter King Charles St from Clive Steps on Horse Guards, as we plan to have a dais and PA at the Whitehall end. There are many Tube stations and bus stops nearby, but marshals will be on hand to guide people from Westminster Tube (Circle, District and Jubilee lines) to the rally.
Wheelchair/pushchair access is from the Whitehall end of the street.
