A diverse group of adults and children, some wearing helmets and one child in a cargo bike, pose on a city street holding a large white banner that reads "Stronger Together" with "Somerville Commission Persons with Disabilities" and the Somerville Special Education Parents Advisory Council (SEPAC) logo. The street is lined with buildings, including a storefront with "MAGPIE" visible, and a pole with street signs. One person in the background is dressed in the West Somerville Neighborhood School mascot costume. The mood is celebratory and communal.
