Image ID #2: Image ID: A black background with a circular vignette in the center. Arching around the top of the vignette against the black is red text reading “Care Work” and around the bottom “is not disposable”. Within the vignette are three people: on the left is a pink person in a red long sleeve shirt reaching across and holding the hand of the person in the middle. In the middle is a red person in a mustard yellow long sleeve shirt. On the right is a green person in a blue long sleeve shirt, their hand is on the shoulder of the person in the middle. The entire image within the vignette is rendered to look glitched out, streaking and zig-zagging the image with white and gray.
