A line of seven flight attendants in uniform, viewed from behind, stands at the White House gates holding up various printed signs. Messages say: "AA makes billions, we can't pay rent." "Robert, what's the delay? We need a contract today!" "American Airlines flight attendants: No retro pay, no way!" "Flight attendants save lives!" "Corporate greed doesn't fly." "Trying to get pAAid." It appears the group includes men and women, and most are people of color.

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.
