A group of individuals, including (left to right) Patricia A. Brown, Ed Begley, Jr. and Lois Gibbs stand closely together near a chain-link fence with protest signs and banners behind them. Lois Gibbs, wearing a long dark coat is speaking to the crowd while gesturing with her hand. Another person next to them holds a large black wreath. The signs in the background include messages such as “Waste Doesn’t Belong” and “Kids Poisoned.” The group appears serious and attentive, suggesting participation in an environmental protest or demonstration.
