On a bold, yellow background, the following quote appears in black text: "Jeanette has spent decades fighting for her community. We will not allow her to disappear without a fight. Our faith compels us to love boldly. Our values demand that we take risks. And our democracy requires our participation… We must act." In smaller, text, the quote attribution reads “Rev. Sean Neil-Barron, Acting Senior Minister of Foothills Unitarian, and the Foothills Immigration Team.” To the right of the text a photograph of Jeanette Vizguerra is overlaid on the yellow background. She is speaking into a microphone, wearing a white sleeveless dress with a red scarf. Her long, dark hair is wavy, and she is wearing large beaded earrings.
