May Day Strike Banner Drop Interstate Portland

A lone activist in bright yellow jacket and cap stands on the North Skidmore Street overpass above Interstate 5 in North Portland, holding a handwritten protest sign calling for a May 1st General Strike. The demonstrator displays a banner reading "5/1/20 No Work No School No Shopping May 1st" while another person in dark clothing moves along the green metal fence. Afternoon sunlight casts sharp shadows across the concrete walkway as traffic flows beneath on the busy freeway, creating a powerful juxtaposition between grassroots activism and urban infrastructure.
