Children

A group of adults and children are participating in a protest on a sidewalk beside a street. Several individuals are holding signs with handwritten messages, many related to health concerns, environmental safety, and housing. Phrases on the signs include “RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS ARE NOT ENOUGH,” “ANYONE ON DEATH ROW WANT TO TRADE HOMES,” and “WILL I SEE 7?”. The group appears to be walking past a modern-style building with large windows. Trees and a parked car are visible in the background.
