The ribbon has text written in black ink. On the bottom left, the ribbon says “1st ACT” with a closed fist punching towards the viewer.” Above is a open bloodied hand and the ribbon is labeled “CONSEQUENCES.” On the Upper Left corner is a limp handcuffed hand. In the middle are prayer hands with the words, “ACCOUNTABILITY.” There is a grasping hand on the top right above “REAL CHANGE”. Below is an open hand with a illuminated by yellow light from behind.
