- The image is a collage of various elements. At the top left, there are two cartoon-style illustrations: one depicts a person in a baseball uniform, and the other shows a person sitting at a desk with a feather quill. Below these illustrations, there is a photograph of a protest with people holding signs, one of which reads "THIS IS BAD." The right side of the image contains handwritten text in red ink, discussing themes of healing, brokenness, and calls for action. The bottom right corner has a list of names and phrases, including "Lana," "Dana," "Dollars 180," "Social + Emotional Learning," and "Bruce Bernstein."
