Summary/Abstract: As a group of 29 addiction journal editors from 12 countries,1 we are urgently drawing our readers’ attention to the abrupt and drastic changes in science policy now being enacted by the current US government. We are issuing a clarion call to the addiction science community to reverse the unethical, illegal and unscientific activities of the Trump Administration, and by analogy the activities of other governments that interfere with the pursuit of scientific knowledge to manage addiction-related problems (see Balfe, 2023; Hall et al., 2012). There are three reasons for this call to action.
