Protest signs and posters on the Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence, located on the north side of Lafayette Park in Washington D.C.
There is an apartment building that has two large posters on them. One has a painted image of Ruth Bader Ginsberg on it and it reads “Fight For The Things You Care About.” And next to this is an image of a black woman with her fist raised and is wearing a cape. The woman’s shirt on the poster reads “My Voice Is My Super Power” and the poster itself reads “Vital Voices”.
There is an image of the Memorial Fence, the White House, and the Washington Monument behind it and there is a bike, chairs, coolers, and bags that are in front of the fence. People are in front of the fence and one is holding a poster protesting. Multiple posters read “Stop Killing Us” “Pay A Black Woman Today” “Black Lives Matter” “Resist “We are the Majority” “Black Trans Lives Matter” “Trump Is A Danger To Us All” “White silence Fuels Domestic [illegible]” “#DefundMPD EndSARS” “Fuck Your Fence” “Join Campaign Zero” “#Say Their Names” “Jesus knows Black Lives Need More Than Thoughts & Prayers”.
There is a blue poster with an image of a black woman in a yellow dress and black heeled shoes running to an outline of a boy lying on the ground crying out the words that read “mama” and this is on a blue background. On the far right of the same poster are the numbers “8:46”
There is another image of the fence with posters that reads “Say Their Names” “Fuck Your Racist ass Grandma” LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL not some” “Reclaiming our… time. History. Choices. SPACE.” “DEFUND the POLICE” “DEFUND MPD” “Defend Black Lives and many others, but they are unable to be read due to the angle of the photo. There is a large white tapestry that reads “Fuck Trump” and other statements that read “Eyes On You” and “Rising” and six multicolored flowers painted on.

The Black Lives Matter Memorial fence was a temporary chainlink fence installed in the area north of Lafayette Park and the White House from June 2, 2020, until January 30, 2021. The fence prevented public access to the area, and it also served as an important site of protest and self-expression.
Activist Nadine Seiler played a crucial role in protecting and caring for the fence, along with Karen Irwin and other activists in a loosely-formed group informally known as the "Guardians of the Fence." Nadine Seiler and Aliza Leventhal systematically documented the fence over the course of months, and Seiler became the de facto curator of the fence.

Protest signs and posters on the Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence, located on the north side of Lafayette Park in Washington D.C.
There is a deflated balloon of Trump which is on a poster, and it reads “#BabyGate” then has makeshift bars that read “Bunker Baby” that are on the balloon. Next to this is a red poster that reads “Vote Bunker Baby OUT.” A cardboard poster reads “AKA IN The White House PERIOD.”
A white poster reads “Say His Name: Daniel Prudei Murdered by RPD 3/31/2020 We Will Never Forget ” There is a cardboard poster that reads “JOE 2020 New Era” and this is inside the drawn blue circle. Another cardboard poster reads “Joe Biden |Kamala Harris |AOC |Bernie Sanders! DEMOCRACY WON ! THE PEOPLE WON! THE USA WON!” There is a statement on the fence that was created by small pieces of paper and reads “WE KEEP US SAFE” where “We Keep” is in orange “Us” is in blue and “Safe” is in white.
And a poster that reads “You Didn’t Win The People’s Vote In 2016 Either And It Took 4 Years To Get You Out!” it shows that many posters have been torn down from the fence as well. There is a poster that is lying on the ground that reads “Vote!” and there are words that have been written on the poster in white paint and black marker that read “Harm Reduction for Whom??” “#Oust [Rodrigo] Duterte + [Donald] Trump!” “Laban! Makibaka! [illegible] Go Beyond Electoral Politics”
Next to this is a black poster with yellow spray paint that is still hanging on the fence and reads “Black Men + [illegible] Black Lives” and there seems to be an image of a pig that was drawn. A cardboard poster reads “We The People VOTEd OUT Bunker B*tch (And [which is crossed out] Now, All The Other Racists.) @AudraKim Jun 7, 2020.”
Two glass windows have tape that has the LGBTQIA+ colors across it. Then there are different images of people protesting that have been cut out from newspaper articles. The word “Bye” is spelled out in green and yellow tape and has been repeated fifteen times on the glass.
There is a square box that reads “Trade” on the glass. Two posters read “Black Trans Lives Matter” and “ Hate Won't Make Us Great Vote Blue” and there is a checked mark in a box drawn on the poster.

The Black Lives Matter Memorial fence was a temporary chainlink fence installed in the area north of Lafayette Park and the White House from June 2, 2020, until January 30, 2021. The fence prevented public access to the area, and it also served as an important site of protest and self-expression.
Activist Nadine Seiler played a crucial role in protecting and caring for the fence, along with Karen Irwin and other activists in a loosely-formed group informally known as the "Guardians of the Fence." Nadine Seiler and Aliza Leventhal systematically documented the fence over the course of months, and Seiler became the de facto curator of the fence.

There is writing on the poster that reads “I Hope Youre [sic] Proud Of Us Mr. Lewis RIP ”
There is a cloth sheet that reads “There’s a poster that reads “’I can’t breathe. I have my ID [illegible] My name is Elijah McClain. That’s my house. I was just going home. I’m an introvert. I’M JUST DIFFERENT. That’s all. I’M SO SORRY. I have [illegible] fun. I don’t do that stuff. I don’t do any fighting. Why are you attacking me? I don’t even kill flies! I don’t eat meat.

You all are phenomenal. You are beautiful and I love you. Try to forgive me. I’m a mood Gemini. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Ow, that really hurt. You all are very strong. Teamwork makes the dream work. Oh, I’m sorry I wasn’t trying to do that. I JUST CAN’T BREATHE CORRECTLY’ – Elijah McClain as he was being murdered on Aug. 24, 2019. Elijah was put in a chokehold and lost consciences.

A poster reads “Trump” and it has a red circle around it and a line through it. Another poster reads “Vote Out Trump the liar the racist the transphobic the homophobic the useless the hateful the ableist the white supremacist the rapist” behind this is another poster that is covered up slightly but one is able to see that it is representing a protest and there are depictions of people raising their fists.
Another poster reads “Murderous Pigs Dept” and has an image of a drawn pig beside it and “MPD” is highlighted with red. Another poster reads “We Keep Us Safe” and there are two images of drawn pigs that have been crossed out.
