Gathered Crowd

A towering inflatable rat protest figure dominates the scene outside Kaiser Permanente Tower in Portland's Lloyd District, its menacing presence amplified by autumn's golden canopy. Red-clad nurses and supporters gather in solidarity along Northeast Multnomah Street, their masked faces reflecting both pandemic precautions and labor tensions. The bold white protest sign declaring 'SHAME ON KAISER PERMANENTE' cuts through the overcast afternoon light, while a yellow Rat Tracker truck anchors the demonstration with industrial determination. — ISO 2000 · 80mm · f/5.6 · 1/125
