Objective:
To popularize the story of Jonas Salk’s sharing his vaccine without a patent and show that another way is possible.
The Project:
This banner was designed for the May 5, 2021 event in Washington D.C. It’s meant to work like the banner that would be used for a group marching in a parade. You can download versions for various regions we have Free the Vaccine for COVID-19 participants. Or modify one to make your own.
TRY THIS:
Print it.
Join the Jonas Salk Fan Club and make one for your local chapter.
What worked?
It should be a magnet for photographers – hopefully!
Other Notes:
The design is based off the Jonas Salk sticker I made just for fun, kind of on a whim. That’s how it starts sometimes.

Reflections from Steve Lambert
If someone else were going to make/use/do something like this, what advice would you give them?
Have this printed at a local copy shop/office supply store. You can get it printed on plain paper for pretty cheap. It won’t look *great* but it will look good enough.
Of course, you can also print it on something heavier for a higher cost. And you should if you can!
A lot of these parade banners have yellow fringe at the bottom (do an image search for “parade banner”). That’s, of course, optional but would be a nice touch.
