A group of children and adults are holding up various signs advocating for disability rights and inclusion in sports. The signs have messages like 'We want unified sports in the Paralympics to mainstream disability,' 'Support disability rights,' 'Don't look at the less, look at the records,' and 'Yes I can.' The participants are wearing blue shirts with orange and red lettering and are standing on an outdoor street with trees and buildings in the background.
