Nearly 1,000 members of the American Geophysical Union are asking the organization to relocate its 2025 Fall Meeting from New Orleans, Louisiana, to a site in a state that has no abortion bans or restrictions.
The petition comes at a time when the AGU, based in Washington DC, is taking stock of how it chooses its conference venues. The society has about 60,000 members worldwide and hosts one of the largest scientific meetings in the United States, with some 25,000 attendees. It rotates its Fall Meeting venue between San Francisco, California; Washington DC; and Chicago, Illinois — in all of which abortion rights are largely protected — and New Orleans, where state law now bans many abortions.
