Description
A group of people stand inside a building during a protest. One person in the center holds a white sign with large, bold letters that read “You Buy You Die.” The lighting is dim, making it difficult to clearly see facial details or background elements. Other protest signs are partially visible, including one on the right that appears to say “We Want Permanent Protection for Everyone.” The protest appears to be taking place near a hallway or entrance area, with bright overhead lighting in the background.
