A group of protesters stand on a city sidewalk holding handmade signs. A smiling woman holds a sign with “Familias Unidas” and a red and green heart, while another protester holds a sign that reads “No Human Is Illegal on Stolen Land” in bold black and red letters. In the background, more protesters wave Mexican flags, and an older woman carries a flag as she walks past the camera.

A group of four women march across an urban street, waving their arms and holding a large Mexican flag that ripples in the wind. The woman leading the march wears denim shorts and a green soccer jersey, her mouth open in a chant. The golden-hued building in the background reflects the evening light, contrasting with the dark pavement and moving figures.

A father stands in a parking lot, cradling a baby in his arms. The baby, dressed in a brown plaid jacket, gazes directly at the camera with wide eyes. Behind them, a young woman holds a Mexican flag stretched between her hands, while another protester sits on the back of a truck, waving a flag high. More demonstrators and flags fill the background, creating a layered scene of activism and family presence.

A young woman smiles brightly while holding a large Mexican flag at a protest. She is surrounded by others raising signs with bold, handwritten messages. The flag’s red, white, and green fabric drapes across the lower half of the image, while behind her, hands reach up holding protest signs against the backdrop of city buildings and leafless trees.

Anti-deportation protests.
