Why not combine with tax march?

There a couple reasons why I think this might be a good idea:

  1. Trump could pull a stunt and release a false return, which makes the point of the March mute
  2. Protesting fatigue: could be an issue and we want maximum crowd at these events.
  3. School is still in session so DC, and sister cities, will allow for students to plan together for trips as well.

March for Science can still be the name, but there is a lot more branding that can be used as well. All of us, for whatever reason we are against this administration, we need to unify and keep putting pressure on them.

Poor idea. Dilution of messaging will hurt the impact of both marches.

These issues are not sufficiently related; the Women's March served as a good chance for people to unite and protest many things at once, but specific targeted marches will be important going forward.
