Eight picketers, who appear mostly young and white, stand in front of New Seasons. Their screen-printed picket signs say "New Seasons Labor Union, On Strike, Unfair Employer, Do Not Patronize" in red ink with flourishes. Two hold a black banner with yellow letters, only partly visible but appears to say "On strike." They all stand near the curb, facing traffic, and one has a bullhorn.

Many carry printed signs like "UAW on strike" and "Stand up for retirement security." Most visible faces are white but a few Black faces are also visible; there's a mix of women and men.

Black and white men, most in red union T-shirts, picket energetically on a streetcorner. Man in front, in turquoise shirt, is talking or chanting into a mic, arm outstretched. Everyone's pose is active. Printed signs say "honk if you support workers" and "AT&T unfair, CWA on strike, ULP." One handmade sign, partially visible, says "AT&T Unfair Labor." The man in the center is holding his sign high and wind or movement blows his red shirt.
