Children

A group of children and adults gather closely during a protest, holding handmade signs with messages against toxic waste and landfill sites. Some of the visible signs read “Protect My Future Stop CECOS #6,” “They May Be New But they...Dump on NIAGARA,” and “PLEASE HELP US! We HELPED YOU.” The children in front display a large horizontal banner with the phrase “Protect My Future Stop CECOS.” The crowd is standing outside a building, and the demonstration appears peaceful but urgent, emphasizing environmental health and community protection.
