The hijab is made from the American flag with a blue, star spangled field on the proper right side of her head and face, and red and white stripes on the proper left side of her head and face. The stars on the hijab have been filled in with silver glitter, her eyelids highlighted with green glitter, and her lips filled in with red glitter. The proper right side of the woman’s face and hijab are shaded in blues. Above the graphic, printed in black, block text is [WE THE / PEOPLE] framed on either side by two (2) light blue diamonds, and top and bottom by two (2) light blue bands. Below the graphic is a thick light blue band with white block text that reads [ARE GREATER THAN FEAR]. Black text at the top of the advertisement reads [ADVERTISEMENT] in the top left corner and [THE WASHINGTONPOST · Friday, January 20, 2017 / ADVERTISEMENT] in the top right corner. Black text at the bottom of the advertisement reads [WE THE PEOPLE ARE INDIVISIBLE, WE ARE RESILIENT, WE PROTECT EACH OTHER, WE DEFEND DIGNITY, WE ARE GREATER THAN FEAR, / WWW.WETHEPEOPLEARE.ORG | A PROJECT OF THE AMPLIFIER FOUNDATION]. The back of the placard is white with handwritten black ink text and red and gold glitter text that reads [THE / POWer of THE / PEOPLE / is / Stronger than the / PEOPLE In Power].
