A montage of colorized photographs showing various actions. At the top, a crowd of Black and Brown young people raise their fists into the air, hold protest signs, and speak into a megaphone. The words, “Build Strong Communities, not prisons and jails!” are placed above them in white against a light blue. Below, in another image, a young Black woman with long red hair is spray painting a picture on the ground. The words, “Freedom Fighter” is printed on an armband she wears. In another image, a young man with long black hair and tan skin speaks to a news team. He has an upside-down bucket strapped to him, presumably for adding percussion to a protest. Below, smaller text states, “The prison crisis in California is not over. People are organizing and fighting back!”
