Description
Ed Begley, Jr. stands at a microphone under a striped canopy tent, speaking to an audience. He is wearing a dark leather jacket and glasses and holding a sheet of paper. Behind the speaker, a crowd of people stands closely together, some holding notebooks or cameras. A few individuals are filming or photographing the event. A banner with partial text reading “GREEN…” is visible in the background, suggesting an environmental or activist context. The setting appears informal, possibly a grassroots gathering or community meeting.
