Red Wave Rises Against Kaiser Tower | Tim Trautmann

A sea of striking nurses in crimson scrubs and union red congregates at the base of Portland's imposing Kaiser Permanente Tower, their collective presence creating a powerful visual contrast against the building's stark modernist facade. The late afternoon light casts a cool blue wash over the scene while autumn trees frame the corporate monolith, their golden leaves echoing the warmth of the protesters' resolve. Signs and banners punctuate the crowd as healthcare workers mass in organized defiance, transforming the sterile corporate plaza into a stage for labor activism.
