She's wearing a black hoodie over a black buttondown shirt and a rainbow tie with red pants. Her sign reads, "Writers Guild on Strike! Representation means nothing without Compen$ation! I'm Gay for Fair Pay!" The woman on the right is older and white. Her hair is in a ponytail and she's wearing a red LA Dodgers cap and a blue Actors Equity Association t-shirt.
