A small union label for Allied Printing and Inkworks is printed at bottom left.

Poster printed in red and black ink on white paper. "Caravan on the Road to Peace / Help Rebuild El Salvador" printed at top and aligned at left. The majority of the page contains an image of a landscape with rolling hills that has a road running from top center in the background to lower left in the foreground. A city visible in the distance with many different buildings, a "HOLLYWOOD" sign on a hill, and the Golden Gate Bridge appear at upper left. At mid-ground, a truck drives along the road near a grove of corn stalks and flowers. Another truck that is filled with objects such as a guitar and a television set drives along the road in the foreground. A building, plants, and a woman with a basket of fruit on her head while holding a child appears at left. A man leading an ox appears at right. Two paragraphs of small text discussing rebuilding communities in El Salvador appear at center right. Text in a red band across the bottom of the image contains phone numbers to call for "information about how you can support the Caravan on the Road to Peace" and lists the sister cities: Berkeley - San Antonio los Ranchos, Davis - Rutilio Grande, Los Angeles - Comunidad Ellacuria, and San Francisco - Las Vueltas. A partial list of Caravan participants is listed in small print across the bottom of the page.
