GSA is an official partner of the March for Science—we hope you will join us in marching on Earth Day, April 22! You can now wear one of our fantastic new GSA March for Science T-shirts, available in two designs. All proceeds go to the non-profit, volunteer-run March for Science organization, supporting the major logistics costs of such an event.

To ensure you receive your T-shirt before April 22, you must PLACE YOUR ORDER BY APRIL 9. If you place your order after that date you will still receive the shirt but may not be able to wear it for the march. Please ignore the automated estimates of shipping dates provided after you purchase a shirt. As long as you place your order by April 9, shipment by April 22 is guaranteed. Note that the pictured designs are on the back of the shirt.
