📢 Our 2026 Summer Matching campaign kicks off today! In our 15 years, we have never seen such egregious attacks on science. And with your support, we have never been more galvanized to stand up, fight back, and never give in. Donate today and have your gift doubled: csldf.org/donate

8 years, 3 administrations, & 700+ entries later, we are excited to announce our revamped Silencing Science Tracker! This tool provides a way to document, challenge, & stop government attacks on science - & to hold those responsible accountable. silencingscience.org

We were able to accomplish so much this year thanks to our generous community of pro-science supporters. And whatever 2026 brings, we are ready. Support our work before the end of the year & your gift will be doubled - meaning double the support for scientists. csldf.org/donate

Even as an organization dedicated to supporting climate scientists, we have never seen an all-out assault like the past 10 months. But thanks to our pro-science supporters, we've been able to help more scientists than any other year in our nearly 15-year history. www.csldf.org/wp-content/u...

We've been selected as a CREDO Mobile grant recipient! Anyone can vote for one (or two, or all three) of the progressive organizations selected for August - including @csldf.org! - and help decide how the available funds will be split. Vote now: www.credodonations.com/organization...

We're kicking off our Summer Match! Thanks to an incredible group of supporters, all donations to @csldf.org up to $50,000 will be *doubled*. As a small yet mighty team fighting to protect & defend scientists, every gift - no matter the size - makes a huge difference. csldf.org/summer

Just weeks ago, we added an entry to the Silencing Science Tracker on RFK Jr's claims about vitamin A as a "miraculous treatment" for measles. It was infuriating to write that entry. Reading about the consequences is even more infuriating. climate.law.columbia.edu/content/hhs-...

How it started: How it's going: Since 2017, we've tracked attempts to silence, misrepresent, or interfere with science. See the nearly 600 entries we & @sabincenter.bsky.social have added (and continue to add to): climate.law.columbia.edu/Silencing-Sc...

The 1st Amendment protects scientists who engage in advocacy & activism - even if they work for a federal agency. With @aclu.org, we created a guide for scientists who wish to be involved while minimizing negative repercussions: www.csldf.org/resource/fir...

Last year, @csldf.org provided pro bono legal help to a record-breaking *64* scientists facing harassment or abuse because of their critical research. Barely two months into 2025, we are already on track to blow past that number. Help us stand with scientists: www.csldf.org/donate
