Photo: Mixed B&W and color. In color: Mission Mamie, wearing a white t-shirt, blue cargo style pants, and a "fanny" pack shifted around to the front, holds a sign mounted on a crutch. The sign is on white poster board, with a thick pink wash. Drawn across the pink background is a brown hand reaching downward diagonally to grip a white hand. The black text reads in lower case text, "we rise by lifting others / love is louder than fear." In B&W behind Mission Mamie there is a bank and its parking lot in a typical midwestern suburban architectural style. To either side of Mission Mamie are the shoulders of other demonstrators. All three rest their derrières on a limestone wall. Elle a l'air en forme. "But," says Misison Mamie, "the crutch is for real."

Photo: Mixed B&W and color. In color: A white poster board sign topped with the flags of Lebanon & Palestine. Its text is in all caps and reads: "HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NOT UP FOR DEBATE / FREE PALESTINE / ABOLISH ICE" and in smaller letters, "86/47." In B&W: Olive holds the sign. Olive wears a fatigue jacket and a knitted scarf invocative of a keffiyeh. Olive grips the wooden stick that holds the sign tightly in a slight, thin hand. Behind Olive and the sign there is a bank and its parking lot in a typical midwestern suburban architectural style.
