In the foreground on the right, protestors hold aloft a very large, prominent white banner that reads Women Unite for Womens Liberation in bold black block lettering. Surrounding marchers carry smaller signs advocating for free contraception, equal pay now, and nurseries, while onlookers and traditional storefronts like The Needlewoman Shop line the background street under a light snowfall or rain.
