A pair of early 20th century women strikers in formal dresses with sashes reading 'PICKET STRIKERS.' The left striker's head has been replaced with a 'hacker-in-a-hoodie' cliche. The left one's jacket has been turned Deliveroo blue. She's wearing a matching bike helmet and carrying a Deliveroo food-delivery insulated backpack. They are posed on a background of a giant union conference at Madison Square Gardens, under a banner reading 'ON WITH THE STRIKE! ON TO VICTORY!'

Tech workers and gig workers need each other
I cropped out these two women strikers from an early 20th century photo of a picket line and superimposed them on a photo of a massive union rally from the same era at (I think?) Madison Square Gardens. I am *really* chuffed with how nicely the (public domain) hacker/hoodie stock image and livery of a gig bike-delivery rider (fair use, ganked from a gig company's promo materials) blended with the strikers.
