Five adult women, including Lois Gibbs (second from right) and Patricia A. Brown (at far left), who are participants in the rally against resettlement of the Love Canal area organized by the Citizen's Clearinghouse for Hazardous Wastes, stand in a row inside a building, posing for the camera. They are dressed in casual to semi-formal attire and are standing against a plain, cream-colored wall. Some are holding items such as a drink, papers, or a coat. The lighting suggests an indoor setting, possibly a hotel or conference venue, with a mirrored panel partially visible on the right side of the image.
