WOW – March – it happened. Let’s flex.
One – our very own Michael went viral with their amazing “comment about the pipeline expansion” video. 17 thousand likes! Holy moly. Check it out here. Or here on YouTube.
And because of that, we got over 50 people, on a Monday evening, to an abandoned parking lot in Macon, to provide commentary on the plan to expand a gas pipeline.
While the time to comment is over – you can learn more here – Community Health Threats from the SSE4 Natural Gas Pipeline Expansion – and there is always time to channel that indignation into something useful. Like calling your Legislators.
Speaking of Legislators. Sine Die the last day of the session is Apr 2. All the bills that would have provided actual consumer protections against power structure overbuild, for data centers (which is why they need the above mentioned pipeline) – have gone no where.
But – another flex – we were close. We were so close that the Senate Shut Down instead of having a vote. So – while we didn’t actual make change – we did get those in power to get a little scared. And that’s something. And – another flex – I had an OpEd published in the AJC!
Our legislative guide is here – 2025-26 GA General Assembly Legislation Monitoring. We’ll be publishing a wrap-up in a few weeks!
In the meantime, we did TWO insanely popular ASF events: Worm Composting and the Science of Ice Cream. I love both these events. Fun. Hands on. Entertaining. Community Building.
So what are we doing in April? Too much. And that’s just how we like it:
NEW EVENT –
Apr 2 – Sips of Science – Science for Georgia – a wonderful volunteer wants to meet up in a bar and chat with “friends of science” about what you are concerned about, what Sci4Ga can do for you, and generally, just meet-up with friendly people.
Apr 9 – Sci4Ga Monthly Community Meeting
Apr 19 – Monthly South River Water Testing – April
Apr 23 – GSJ: Okefenokee Sacred Waters
Apr 26 – CST: Monthly Meetup
As always – we couldn’t do this without you. Thank you for your support and for showing up. Please donate if you can!
