A group of individuals participates in a protest march along a city sidewalk, partially shaded by a building. They carry handmade signs, one of which includes the text “Rooms 3-4-5 want to stay ALIVE.” The group appears to be walking in a line, with some people more clearly visible in the shadows. Trees and parked vehicles are seen in the background.
