Washington, DC– The Science March in Washington, DC and its 600 satellite marches around the world are a unified act of defiance against political assertions and decisions void of evidence-based inquiry.

We received numerous inquiries from media outfits regarding the alleged use of bomb threats against various entities by Juan Thompson in his effort, according to authorities, to harass his former girl friend who happens to be a member of AF3IRM NYC.

For months, we watched our sister go through a well-nigh unbearable situation of … Continue Reading ››
