Description
A group of people participates in a protest, holding up a handmade banner with bold text in blue and red that reads “Gov. Cuomo Just Say [No] Love Canal Homeowners.” The banner dominates the foreground of the image. Several individuals are partially visible behind it, with expressions of determination. In the background, other signs and banners with red text are visible, referencing "Forest Glen" and "Toxic Dump." The setting appears to be outdoors on an overcast day.
