Protest poster with white text on a black background titled “Science For The People”. Underneath, an illustration of a red upraised forearm with a fist clenching strips of computer printout tapes. Underneath the illustration, it reads “Computer Workers - Join With Other Workers. Make Computers Serve The People! Atlantic City ’71.” At the bottom, two addresses are shown: “CPP, Dolphin Center, 137A W 14th St, NY 10011” and “SESPA, Science for the People Center, 9 Walden St, J.P., Mass, 0213.” (The last digit of the ZIP code is clipped from the image.)
