Image of Leah and two friends at a protest. One friend is a white, Greek/Irish femme person in her 40s with greying undercut brown hair wearing a black KN95 mask, they are holding a sign that says 50% OF GAZA IS UNDER 18 STOP KILLING KIDS. The second person is a Syrian masculine person wearing a green hat, a green and black flannel over a black t shirt with lilac lettering, holding a sign that reads CEASEFIRE NOW: FREE PALESTINE with two red black green and white Palestinian flags. Leah stands to the right leaning on their friend with their head on their shoulder, wearing a black leather jacket, black leather skirt, pink and white keffiyeh and lilac KN95 mask, holding a sign that reads, "Affirm life." Protestors can be seen in the background at a rotary in mid fall by a tree
