Each year, the AAS brings volunteers to Washington, DC, to learn how to advocate for science as part of our Congressional Visits Day (CVD). In this guest post, CVD volunteer Lindsey Wiser describes her experience at this year's CVD. #ExploreAstronomy https://t.co/FoXcC7WJMd

The satcon forecast is depressing: doubling time for number of satellites is now only about one year. Much more than astronomy at stake now.

The @colgateuniv winters were unbearable but worse were Prof. Balonek's emails--
"IT'S A CLEAR NIGHT FOLKS, I DON'T SEE YOU OBSERVING"
10 years later, Josh Reding and I stand in the humid, sticky DC heat as @AAAS_STPF fellows advising Congress and the @NSF on space.

Today, we are celebrating and honoring the work of MLK Jr. In astronomy, we have a long walk towards creating an equitable and diverse discipline. King has argued in many sermons how our cosmic position should help dictate our response to injustice.
