A group of individuals gathered at a nighttime protest. The person in the foreground, wearing sunglasses and a denim jacket, holds a sign that says “Carey doesn’t care–y?” A second sign behind her reads “Must we all die of cancer before we can get a direct answer?” The people are dressed for cool weather and appear serious and determined. The setting is dark, indicating an evening or night-time demonstration.
