A group of people gathers on a grassy area for an outdoor protest. The crowd stands near a large green-and-white striped tent. Many attendees hold black and orange balloons, and several hold signs, including one that reads “Forest Toxic” and another that says “APRIL FOOLS IN ALBANY.” A few individuals appear to be filming or photographing the event, with tripods set up in the foreground. Leafless trees and residential buildings are visible in the background, suggesting the event takes place in early spring.
