The women, from left to right, are: Rosalie Haduch, holding an umbrella and page of song lyrics;, Patricia Lay-Dorsey has a sign reading, "Ford HIGHEST EMISSIONS" and sits on a motorized scooter; Charlotte Kish holds an umbrella and a sign that says, "Ford LOWEST MILEAGE;" and Nancy (McGuire) Goedert's sign reads, "HONK for EARTH DAY" and she also holds an umbrella.
