Description
A group of people, including several children and adults, participate in an outdoor protest holding various handmade signs related to toxic chemical exposure and environmental protection. Messages on the signs include phrases such as “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH STOP #6,” and “NO DIOXIN LOOPHOLES! YOU KEEP YOURS, WE’LL KEEP OURS." The protest takes place on a sidewalk near parked vehicles, possibly outside a commercial or governmental building. The scene suggests community opposition to continued or renewed hazardous waste activity.
