graphic with the text โ€œWe Need Your Helpโ€ in large black and purple lettering above a purple megaphone. In the foreground, numerous raised hands of varied skin tones reach upward, representing a diverse group of people. Among them are distinctive elements including a robotic prosthetic hand, a blue mechanical-looking hand, and hands with visible scars or markings. A Progress Pride flag and a flowing rainbow ribbon weave through the crowd. A soft outdoor background with trees and a rainbow sky sits behind the megaphone. The image is framed by a multicolored Pride stripe border, and a โ€œTGโ€ logo with a tabletop gaming die appears in the top-left corner.
