When the federal government can't or won't support scientific research, state leaders like @Scott_Wiener are stepping up to keep the lights on in America's labs - and 60,000+ UAW researchers on the job. @uawregion6

"If passed by the legislature and signed by @CAgovernor, the California Science and Health Research Bond Act would place a measure on the state’s November 2026 ballot funding up to $23 billion worth of scientific research at California institutions. It would give people — not political appointees or corporate lobbyists, as too often happens in Washington — the power to prioritize the research that matters most to their lives and their families." — @ShawnFainUAW via @wapo 📰 wapo.st/4vPKDxj
