At a protest, a diverse group of people stand in front of a building holding a large yellow and purple banner that reads 'Marching In Their Footsteps.' The banner features stylized portraits of influential women in U.S. history, including civil rights leaders, suffragists, and lawmakers. Among them are recognizable figures like Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress; Patsy Mink, the first woman of color in Congress and co-author of Title IX; Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court Justice and gender equality advocate; Eleanor Roosevelt, former First Lady and human rights champion; and Dolores Huerta, labor leader and co-founder of the United Farm Workers. The group of protesters includes people of different ages, genders, and ethnicities, showing solidarity across generations. At the Hands Off protest in Eugene, Oregon, a man stands on a grassy area near a crowd, holding a tall handmade sign that reads 'HONK IF YOU NEVER DRUNK TEXTED WAR PLANS' in bold black and red lettering. He appears to be in his 50s or 60s, wearing a floppy brimmed sun hat, round glasses, a gray T-shirt with a graphic design, and olive-green cargo pants. With both arms raised high, he strikes a proud, energized stance. Behind him, other protesters hold signs and gather under bright spring sunshine.

In the foreground, two large handmade signs are prominently displayed: one bright yellow sign reads 'HANDS OFF SOCIAL SECURITY' in bold black letters, and the other, white with colorful text and a rainbow handprint, says 'HANDS OFF MEDICAID.' Protesters fill the background, spreading across the grassy park area and sidewalk, holding various signs. Some visible messages include 'THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE IS GREATER THAN THE PEOPLE IN POWER' and 'THE PEOPLE ARE PISSED.' The crowd is diverse in age and dress.
