The rally was organized by the Citizens Clearinghouse for Hazardous Waste.

A protest march is taking place on a paved road with a large group of people walking toward the camera. Behind them is a tall chain-link fence covered with signs, posters, and black balloons. Some signs are readable, including a large banner that reads “Gov. Cuomo Just Say No” and another that refers to “Love Canal Homeowners.” A few individuals are holding balloons, and one person rides a bicycle along the left side of the frame. The sky is overcast, and the surrounding landscape is grassy and bare, suggesting a cool or winter season.
