Ploughman, Penelope, 1955-

A group of people gathers inside a dimly lit building, holding protest signs addressing environmental and residential concerns. One prominently held sign reads, "IF THE MAYOR WANTS THE DIGGING TO BEGIN, HE CAN MOVE IN HERE AND MOVE OUT!" Other visible signs include phrases like "Save our Children" and "Give me a home where the children don’t die." The scene is crowded, and expressions are serious, reflecting concern and urgency.
