What sign should I carry?

The March for Science celebrates science and its critical role in both society and policy.   Do you have a special love for cell biology or physics?  Maybe you want to proudly tell the world that vaccines have kept you healthy? Or thank the EPA for keeping your water safe?  This could be the right time to declare your support for a well funded NIH! This isn’t about any one politician -- this is about science and policy, scientists and science supporters.  We hope our signs reflect that!  But please do not mount signs on wood or metal sticks or posts as they will not be allowed in.

Q: Will there be security checks at the site?

Yes, all attendees entering the site will go through security at the access entrances. All bags will be checked at these entrances. Please allow extra time if you are carrying a bag.  The following items are prohibited from being brought into the Rally: aerosols, alcoholic beverages, ammunition, balloons, explosives, firearms, knives, blades or other sharp objects (of any length), packages, structures, supports for signs & placards, weapons of any kind, and any other items that may pose a threat to the security of the event as determined by and at the discretion of the security screener.
