PHOTO ESSAY

“Fighting for a Future : when kids lead a resistance, everybody shows up.”  Good Trouble, Digital
2019

On September 20th, 2019 millions of people walked the world’s streets to make clear the severity of the climate emergency. In NYC, I was among the quarter of a million protesters and photographed the movement of human bodies—of all age, size, and identity—protesting against those who refuse to believe in the Sixth Mass Extinction and uniting in support of this giant rock of life we call home.
