Last night, was an amazing night for me because I had the opportunity to showcase my photo work alongside some really talented people. And this time, I told the story of the courage I witnessed within our immigrant movement and capturing direct action in its rawest form. Everyone taking space… actual, physical space! (a pretty big intersection in the middle of a weekday busy morning) Holding it down, for almost three hours, protecting and loving each other is something so special and powerful. You can feel the strength of our community, its simply mesmerizing. And the ask is simple, to stop the collaboration between local police and ICE(Immigration and customs enforcement) in Los Angeles. We deserve dignity and ask for respect.
Here is what I saw.
