Physicists at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, known as Fermilab, look at the smallest scales and greatest expanses of the universe. Known for its powerful particle accelerator, Fermilab epitomizes American physics research. But after accusations of racism, a group of woke physicists now controls the lab.

Last summer, Change–Now presented a 17-page list of demands to the Fermilab Directorate. It claimed that “anti-Black racism and other elements of white supremacy … are embedded within structures at Fermilab.” They envision a new Fermilab “that prioritizes humanity over productivity.”
