VD of Oakland Protest Against School Closures

Descriptive transcript: Daytime video, taken outside. A mixed group of protestors wearing face masks and holding assorted protest signs line up on a brick sidewalk of a residential area. In the center, a person with short black hair who is wearing a neon safety vest, face mask, long-sleeved black undershirt, blue jeans, and grey athletic shoes (later identified as Zach Norris) holds a microphone.
