Description
A group of people are gathered indoors holding protest signs. One sign reads “Gov Carey’s Promises are as Worthless as our homes,” and another says “Hooker Your Profit is our loss.” A third partially visible sign includes the word “Hooker” in large letters. The setting appears to be inside a public or transit building with fluorescent ceiling lights and glass doors in the background. The lighting is dim, with most details faintly visible.
