March for Science LA exists for one simple, profound purpose: to ensure that public policy is shaped by evidence-based analys ... es. In pursuit of this purpose, we strive to disseminate scientific fact, provide citizens of all ages, backgrounds and means with fun and educational science opportunities, and to foster meaningful relationships with our community and like-minded organizations and policymakers.
