A photograph of a large group of people sitting and standing in the street and sidewalk in front of a police station and bank. Many of the protest participants hold signs with messages including "BLACK LIVES MATTER" and "RESIST," and most appear to be young adults. There are some messages written in chalk on the street, including "WATER ANTI-RACISTS ONLY" and "BIPOC LIVES MATTER."
