While the Women’s March in January and the Tax March last weekend had more than their fair share of clever signs, March for Science Chicago blew both of them away. The signage here was beyond brilliant. I guess that’s to be expected when you hold a rally that advocates reason, logic and critical thinking.
On this, the 47th edition of Earth Day, Saturday April 22nd, March for Science Chicago was held, sending a strong message to our leaders in Washington D.C.
An estimated 4o,00 attended the event, which began with a speaker’s program at 10-11 am, then a march to the Field Museum of Natural History. There, an exposition was held until 3 pm, all in the name of supporting of science.
Here’s a link to much more on March for Science Chicago. To list out all the slogans of all the fantastic signs I saw today would take days. To snap photos of all the fantastic signage and post/tweet/Instagram etc…that would take weeks. So here’s a smattering of some of the more memorable.
