At the top of the photo is the "STAND UP FOR SCIENCE" logo. Below that in bold black text reads: "NATIONAL VIRTUAL DAY OF ACTION". Below that is a link that reads: tr.ee/virtual-rally. Below that in red text reads: "Online Saturday, March 7th Noon to 3PM ET". Below that in blue text reads: "An opportunity for all people to engage with the movement, hear from speakers, and show support for protecting science and evidence based policy, regardless of their location or ability to attend in person."Below that in white text reads: "Learn more about the event at standupforscience.net/march7". On the left side of the photo is a red graphic of the statue of liberty. In the bottom left corner of the photo is the red "STAND UP FOR SCIENCE LOGO".
