Description
A group of four protesters wearing winter coats stands in a hallway with beige walls and two closed doors. Lois Gibbs is in front, partially out of focus, and wearing a fur-lined hooded jacket and a red and white striped shirt. Behind her, two people are visible: one with shoulder-length blond hair and glasses, wearing a striped turtleneck, and another with curly hair partially obscured by a dark coat. A fourth person in a red coat stands farther back, holding what appears to be a knit scarf or garment. The setting appears to be indoors, possibly an institutional building like a courthouse.
