A speaker in a dark suit stands on a stage in front of a closed curtain, addressing an audience seated below. Numerous handmade protest signs are arranged along the front of the stage, with messages such as “Governor Carey Only Makes Promises but does not follow through,” and “WILL I SEE AGE 7?” The lighting is dim and warm, suggesting an indoor evening event or meeting.
