J'Maica: I originally grew up on the East coast in Washington DC area, Prince George's County, Maryland to be specific. My family is split between there and California. My mom is from California, my dad grew up in DC, and they met there, got married, had kids, the whole thing. Growing up, I actually wanted to be a doctor, which clearly did not happen. I worked for a while at a non-profit, and then from there, I transitioned into post-secondary education and program management. I worked at UC Berkeley for a while, and then went to the Academy of Art. And then I started to venture off and do my own thing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599505149355-ES1F1UUA5V2B8SRRLX1N/image-4.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599505476875-3YCBROO22P2Z2RNXXGJQ/image-8.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599505346642-ITW029V8FKPEW4HXSRIQ/image-6.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599505739746-OZHT26SX2BNOXPN143YR/image-13.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599505023792-0I6IZ1KKTGU9GC87VDZV/image-3.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution - Kalu: I was born in Ethiopia and was raised in Toronto, Canada, and I've lived many, many places in between. I've been here in Oakland for eight years this month. I have three children: 10, eight, and six. I essentially call Oakland home. From the day that I set foot here, I loved it. I was super skeptical at first. When we decided to move, we were in LA. And I just couldn't envision myself living out here. Didn't know much about it, but once I landed here, the history and just the way the city makes me feel, what it's connected to as far as historically for Black people, just spoke to my heart. I just love it, and I love the community that I've built here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599505411348-GJT1PSWSFYIPH8IMH8FG/image-7.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599505862942-ONKO9C67QF06FR46602G/image-15.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599505283083-KCCGVWKLYU746WUN3VQJ/image-5.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599504345716-3HKEWOUV502L05JAU0U3/image.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599505583126-DYO1NZZAMHNKPZULARMC/image-10.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599505526819-6T3D8PEXEM8ZZQ79C6UG/image-9.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599505623837-QG6UDQ1UB3COUKHC2PP9/image-11.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599505686111-DZIDZ6BLEAEXMB0FGQL3/image-12.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599505792314-F4Z3XMS1JHO9A9OU0UFZ/image-14.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599504525504-UZ0OE0XIW0LIK0LTSQCR/image-1.jpg Home - Tending To The Revolution Photography by Aubrie Pick https://representcollaborative.com/stories/kimberly-durdin monthly 0.5 2020-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599771755200-EJJ0FBI4MLC0XJ98YOQT/201901_KIMBERLY_DURDIN-0704.jpg Home - Being A Black MIDWIFE During a YEAR OF CRISIS Photography by Shaughn + John https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599771872187-NE7JOX2Y4J91DVB3AN0Q/201901_KIMBERLY_DURDIN-0509.jpg Home - Being A Black MIDWIFE During a YEAR OF CRISIS Photography by Shaughn + John https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599771720008-UVFH85K2AFF1TCLJRLOR/201901_KIMBERLY_DURDIN-0485.jpg Home - Being A Black MIDWIFE During a YEAR OF CRISIS Photography by Shaughn + John https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600108720526-RKBIW3988STH1QI07FPZ/201901_KIMBERLY_DURDIN-0039.jpg Home - Being A Black MIDWIFE During a YEAR OF CRISIS Photography by Shaughn + John https://representcollaborative.com/stories/girls-garage monthly 0.5 2020-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599521271243-RSLHY9NWY7JVERWFBFD6/2020_Girls_Garage_REPCO_7N8A1431.jpg Home - These Teen Girls are Building the World They Want to See Top row, left to right: Erica Chu, Simone Parisi, Iris Pedrick, Azusa James, Neela Mohanpuhr, Tori Creaves Bottom row, left to right: Eliana Ives, Ally Lee, Izzy Brody-Kaplan, Mikaela James, Nautica Charles Not pictured: Aiko Dougherty, Micah Heller, Anna Fry Photography by Smeeta Mahanti https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599949663427-VBBK6F2YVLSQOENYZZM8/2020_Girls_Garage_REPCO_7N8A1389.jpg Home - These Teen Girls are Building the World They Want to See - Eliana Ives “In the physical sense, we all worked on pretty much everything. I was a big part of the run team as well as the door to the coop. I worked on a lot of the siding, and did my portion of the framing. On a more individual level, I tended to be responsible for the soundtracks to our build days, my taste being classic rock from the ‘60s to the ‘80s. I was also the main mathematician when we ran into numerous mathematical problems. But overall I think that such an amazing part of this build was the shared responsibilities that we were able to have due to the sense of trust regarding the work and skill level of our peers,” says Eliana. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599948951625-R3Y6T7ER81PW375MBJXJ/2020_Girls_Garage_REPCO_7N8A1605.jpg Home - These Teen Girls are Building the World They Want to See - Nautica Charles “Our band of builder women is incredible. These are some of my best friends, my longest-standing colleagues. They’re incredibly talented welders and carpenters and architects and educators. Many are also high school or middle school educators. There’s a built-in feeling of support for young people in general,” says Girls Garage founder and lead instructor Emily Pilloton. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599948944898-ZWWWOCM96TEX6DPFA93J/2020_Girls_Garage_REPCO_7N8A1524.jpg Home - These Teen Girls are Building the World They Want to See “More than anything, they take ownership over their own skills. A lot of young women, we feel like we’re bragging if we say what we’re good at. I know how to use a table saw and I know how to weld, and I know how to do this and I’ve done that. They grow into their own strength that they already had. And now they feel a comfort with it and an ability to use it as they go into the next thing,” says Emily Pilloton. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599948951528-93PLO48E0EQ004K9DQZF/2020_Girls_Garage_REPCO_7N8A1591.jpg Home - These Teen Girls are Building the World They Want to See - Tori Creaves “Fearing less isn’t about the absence of fear. For me, it’s about recognizing your fear and choosing to be brave in the face of it. When you’re about to use a chop saw or a welder or any other potentially dangerous tool, you should be afraid! Those things are scary, and fear can be an important emotion that keeps us safe. However, for me, choosing to be brave means assessing the relevance of your fear and then putting it where it belongs. When I put that fear behind me, chose to be brave, and then had it pay off with a fun new skill, it was immensely rewarding and boosted my confidence. Once I began practicing bravery, it made me want to chop that wood, screw those planks, and melt that metal. Practicing bravery is the most important thing I have learned at Girls Garage. I have applied it in areas of my life separate from our group, and I know that I will continue to do so in the future,” says Tori. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599948958234-D6AJSTMZHFM10IUO2796/2020_Girls_Garage_REPCO_7N8A1634.jpg Home - These Teen Girls are Building the World They Want to See - Ally Lee “‘Girl’ doesn’t mean one thing. That’s kind of the point. I think it’s really important that we embrace the complexities of what that word means, and that we talk about them in a way that isn’t stigmatized,” says Emily Pilloton https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599951204347-361OE2TUWU8ZHI7K2O55/2020_Girls_Garage_REPCO_7N8A1626.jpg Home - These Teen Girls are Building the World They Want to See - Simone Parisi “I remember a student who would shake when using tools. She would take several minutes to pull the trigger every time she had to use a tool, whether it was using a chop saw, band saw, or a drill. She would say, ‘I am not strong enough,’ ‘I can't do this,’ ‘I need someone to help me.’ By the end of that year she was on the roof of a playhouse she built, hammering in shingles! I have a picture of her on the roof hanging in my office to remind me of what teaching girls skills like this can lead to,” says Girls Garage instructor Allison Oropallo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599948940662-V5YMPJNU249RDDQAIT1R/2020_Girls_Garage_REPCO_7N8A1395.jpg Home - These Teen Girls are Building the World They Want to See “Urban Tilth is run by a wonderful female leader named Doria Robinson. She’s been a leader in the East Bay and North Richmond community for years. It’s a great partnership because I think they think about farming the same way we think about building—that both belong to a community, it’s only made possible by a community,” says Emily Pilloton. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599951181649-4DVKD6I6UOCCO67X5K45/2020_Girls_Garage_REPCO_7N8A1641.jpg Home - These Teen Girls are Building the World They Want to See - Erica Chu “There are these things about the coop that are completely whimsical. There’s an automatic chicken door that closes and opens with the sun. There are these big French doors that swing open to gather the eggs. We did this barn door with a chevron pattern, and they all decided on the geometry to figure that out. There’s a lot of room to play within the design framework,” says Emily Pilloton. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599948954437-B0GYA1CRCCI57K6YLDI1/2020_Girls_Garage_REPCO_7N8A1617.jpg Home - These Teen Girls are Building the World They Want to See - Mikaela James “My favorite skill to teach the girls is to use power tools such as the chop saw and to demonstrate what it looks like to be confident and to not care what others think of you. Every year there are girls who don't want to pull the trigger of the chop saw because they are so nervous. I stand next to them encouraging that they will not get hurt and they will feel so good after they do it. Once they make their first cut they stand taller, prouder and can't stop smiling. This happens EVERY time,” Girls Garage instructor Allison Oropallo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599948947387-2BK225DIXYTIXIMHUH7B/2020_Girls_Garage_REPCO_7N8A1561.jpg Home - These Teen Girls are Building the World They Want to See - Erica Chu “There were moments when I thought everyone was burned out and just ready to fall over. This happened on Thursday, when we were prepping for the opening ceremony. The entire site next to us, there’d been stuff dumped there, it was a total mess. And we’d forgot to build in time to clear the site for our ceremony. It was already 3 o’clock, and I was sunburned and beat. And Allison was like ‘See that tractor over there? I got this.’ And she got in the tractor and started leveling the site, and the girls got wheelbarrows and they shoveled 200 wheelbarrows full of dirt. No one whined. It was like, all right, let’s do it. I just have images, snapshots of them sweating, sore, and no one complaining for even half a second,” says Emily Pilloton. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599948963286-YIRKF04BUBXVGKKUZ1VB/2020_Girls_Garage_REPCO_7N8A1657.jpg Home - These Teen Girls are Building the World They Want to See - Emily Pilloton “I always say, ‘If you want to teach at Girls Garage, you have to be willing to jump in front of a bus for a girl. You have to be willing to give it all and do anything to protect these girls.’ That is the standard. Everyone who works with me does, and I think girls feel that when they walk in,” says Emily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1599948940849-WV0GYA1KF8H6KWMF3B2S/2020_Girls_Garage_REPCO_7N8A1419.jpg Home - These Teen Girls are Building the World They Want to See “We already know one other so well, and some of the girls have become my closest friends.

They’re locked behind the badge.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145791114-Q57FITFT8A0LOYVNCH6D/6+You_re+in+trouble+.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson After police shut down an encampment at City Hall, protestors marched from Brooklyn to the city. “Black women have a justified reason to be angry,” Robertson says. “They have tried so many other options to fix the system that has oppressed them.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145791791-5TOOTAN9NVR4B7AS4DTP/7+_Let+me+beathe_.JPG Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson Brooklyn-based pastor Louis Straker, Jr. joined other protestors to march over the Brooklyn Bridge in early June. “He was on the front lines with everybody behind him, and I captured this image during a moment of silence for George Floyd,” Robertson says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145791923-LWQUQHKOSJPOHZFF7FRM/8.+Ride+hard.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson The Street Riders is a New York City-based activist group that leads mass bicycle protests. “Lines of bicycles out front in front of the protestors on foot are an important addition to these marches; they’re a barrier, security for the people around them,” Robertson explains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145794965-O5BULPYPAW09RY0GIUWS/9+Can+they+hear+us+yet_.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson Directly after the announcement that police in Kenosha, Wisconsin had shot 29-year Jacob Blake seven times in the back, protestors took to the streets. “This man calls himself ‘Lesson X,” Robertson says. “He’s surrounded by organizers, all of them screaming, ‘No Justice, No Peace.’” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145796019-GY6O3QUQ777WI4HNFR2H/10+Abolition+Now.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson “This girl was ahead of everyone else going over the Brooklyn Bridge in June 2020,” Robertson says. “She just happened to be between the World Trade Center and the Wall Street buildings. The emptiness of the frame is poetic. The city and the marchers are all so separated, but her small sign sums up what the protest was about.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145797183-VE3FJNWB51ABX7KNPHRJ/11+If+we+dont+get+it%2C+SHUT+IT+DOWN%21.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson This group formed a line to stop Blue Lives Matter protestors from entering New York City.

Everyone is constantly saying that police are unjustly arresting people and abusing their power. The first time I stepped out of my apartment, it happened to me.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145799124-2JLTPTGDLC73XVTRLZBP/13+Connected.JPG Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson At the end of June, protestors formed a chain around City Hall as part of the “Defund NYPD” movement. “This woman is wearing a Power Puff Girls t-shirt with a lawyer's number written on her arm, covering her scars,” Robertson says. “White allies have been lending themselves to further the movement, putting themselves on the frontlines. If it was a row of Black people and minorities at the front, they might be handled differently by police.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145800275-2O78SME0ZGOM9ICBUKRS/14+Who+are+we+fighting.JPG Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson This is a confrontation during the “Occupy City Hall” action demanding funding cuts to the New York City police department. “This girl looks like she doesn’t know what to do, as she’s being crushed by a police barricade,” Robertson says. “You can see this police officer’s wedding ring as he pushes at her, and there’s a gentleman near the top of the frame raising his fist in combat.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145800553-JM2GBR8CPLDGJ95OPM7L/15+Formation.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson Chelsea Miller is a Columbia University graduate and co-founder of Freedom March New York City, a group of young Black women organizing non-violent protests. “They marched from The Supreme Court to a precinct downtown and had protestors lie down in a moment of silence on the street,” Robertson explains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145801286-PTT1LIQ6LBD1NT38MH53/16+I+Can_t+Breath+II+.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson “I took this in front of Trump Tower maybe five minutes before curfew over the summer,” Robertson explains. “Police surrounded the area, and right before everybody got ready to leave, this man held up the mask in front of the Trump globe. I found that mask to be very disturbing and interesting at the same time.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145803940-44C22JHW8ELGTC7OUXEL/17+Remember+his+name.JPG Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson A protestor paints Jacob Blake’s name in an intersection near Madison Square Garden. “This was a very high energy protest. After everything that had been happening before Jacob’s shooting, people thought there might be some new recognition and respect for the way police treat African Americans,” Robertson explains. “But seeing how abusive they were with their power in Wisconsin—shooting Blake seven times in the back—stirred up the emotions of everyone across the country.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145804258-OD5U7IISJJPEJUPHHDK3/18+Marching+for+George+Floyd.JPG Home - In the streets Members of Riders 4 Rights, a community-building organization of people on bicycles, head a march across the Brooklyn Bridge from Brooklyn to Manhattan. “The signs they’re holding come from a collective called ‘Artists for George,’” Robertson explains. “They represent the enthusiasm people in New York City have for the Black Lives Matter movement.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145806223-EWUA4749AHN1ON7JZH3F/19+As+the+world+passes+by.JPG Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson People in Louisville, Kentucky, observe a protest march for Breonna Taylor, a Black medical worker murdered by police on March 13, 2020. “The white house in this photo is iconic,” Robertson says. “There’s a small American flag above a small child who watches the protestors, and there’s something about those broken Venetian blinds that shows the state of this family.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145805861-6HHMHYPH8AL96X9QC3EH/20+Black+Trans+sex+workers+Lives+Matter.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson In early August, Black trans sex workers participated in a Black Sex Worker Liberation March and Vigil to protest systematic racism and transphobia. “They started in Times Square, and did a loop around the city,” Robertson says. “They were accepted by the Black Lives Matter community, and didn’t have to hide the fact that they were trans or involved in sex work.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145806544-2DIL70SJGHZ43GHA1Z4R/21+Walk+like+a+King.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson A member of The Street Riders marches in front of the protest line. “I found his shoes interesting,” Robertson says. “He drew King and Black Lives Matter and a fist on a classic pair of Air Jordans.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145806999-ABS4BL0U4ICK1FFSGTPC/22+For+our+future.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson Participants wait for Civil Rights activist Al Sharpton’s speech during the August 28th Commitment March on the Mall in Washington, D.C. “His speech mirrored what Martin Luther King, Jr. said in the same location all those years ago,” Robertson says. “He called out for unity and justice in the face of hatred and inequality, and that’s exactly what we’re calling for now. This image shows how the world is fighting for the future of our youth while they’re comfortably dreaming.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145808982-5NRDV1N6AIH3004KJJ25/23+Power+shift.JPG Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson Livia Rose Johnson is co-founder and leader of Warriors in the Garden, a New York City-based group of activists dedicated to nonviolent protest. “Here, she’s marching in Columbus Circle with other protestors,” Robertson explains. “Minority females have taken a position of power, and they’re leading our society.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145809156-IM07J3XO5DZT2YWML0I1/24+We+the+people.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson Protestors gather in downtown Manhattan. “This was during the first week of marches when everybody was raising their fists in unison and pleading for freedom,” Robertson says. “Everybody was extremely excited about being together and fighting for the same cause. Our raised fists are a symbol of how strong we can be together.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145811026-SC88MXEK5NOA6QBZTFL6/25+Who+is+our+leader_.JPG Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson A protestor leads a march across on the Brooklyn Bridge. “His group was all dressed in black and had shields,” Robertson says. “They were looking more for payback from the city than uniting people. Peaceful marches are great for bringing people together and showing us how to change legislation, but as a whole, I don’t think the city listens as much compared to when something is destroyed. It seems that they put the value of property over the value of people.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145810129-TPZVRNG5ETLJ65RGN364/26+Power+to+the+People.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson Protestors gather on 42nd Street next to Times Square. “The people at this protest seem to blend together,” Robertson says. “Everything else is meaningless except for a small hand popping out of the group of people with a statement written on a small piece of cardboard that reads ‘Power to the People.’” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145810792-4B6BVAEJ6AQIKII1LUP5/27+We+will+always+be+here.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson Protestors take a knee in the middle of Fifth Avenue in Manhattan in mid-July. “We were sitting in the middle of the street, and a whole other march approached us,” Robertson explains. “This guy put up his fist to welcome them.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145812999-RLQ9TEYGP89GZ3UL7WWS/28+Ignore+the+advertisments+.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson A woman-led Black Lives Matter protest gathers in Times Square. “The Square is blanketed by advertisements and bright LED screens that distract you and make you a consumer,” Robertson says. “There are all these advertisements saying ‘buy this” and ‘go here.’ What’s important is the flag waving in the center of this photo: Black lives matter.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145814118-KPN039Q1T9H310IVAKNT/29+I+don_t+trust+police.JPG Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson A woman protests in front of Trump Tower on 57th Street and 5th Avenue. “The back of her sign says ‘Abolish ICE,’ so maybe she has ties with the immigrant community,” Robertson says. “This was in the early days of the protests, and her sign summed up everybody’s feelings. Officers barricaded the street so people couldn’t be in front of the Trump building.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1600145814940-IXPCOJO9VLZ3PA0V51LC/30+Unite+the+world.jpg Home - In the streets - Photography by Jarrett Robertson Nialah Edari is a Columbia University graduate and co-founder of Freedom March NYC, a group of young Black women organizing non-violent protests.

Racial injustice and police brutality is important to me because I am a young Black man in America and have faced racial injustice and have to deal with the fears of police brutality as a young Black man. Mental health issues are important to me because I struggle with anxiety and for the longest felt embarrassed to talk about it because of the stigma of mental health.” -JUSTIN WALTON, Oakland, CA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1603926209432-4CNI9Y02CZHGHK1XCG9Z/My+Post-5.jpg Home - The Evolution of an Activist: Part 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1603926736525-TZSGTDSENAY8F5FMF8LB/My+Post-6.jpg Home - The Evolution of an Activist: Part 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1603930628475-YA2VC43B9G00FUFRK19U/KidsRise_1203_2016_DOshay_Berkeley+%281%29.jpg Home - The Evolution of an Activist: Part 2 - What are the biggest issues affecting your generation? “The biggest issue that is affecting the whole world would be greed for status. I think that you can trace all of the most heinous things that happen in the world back to that greed. Whether it be climate change or prison labor, the hands behind that have an incentive to make the world a worse place.” -DESMOND O’SHEA, Berkeley, CA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1603925394144-SEKA5H642BYWPXJ2PBKK/KidsRise_1203_2016_SScott_Berkeley+%281%29.jpg Home - The Evolution of an Activist: Part 2 - Why should we listen to young people? “Young people of every generation have always challenged their elders. That growth pattern has happened and always will happen, even if we still value tradition and our history. Our societies and communities are always changing, including leadership. Listening to young people means preparing for the next leaders and preparing for a different future, a better one.” -SUHAYLA SCOTT, Oakland, CA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1603924746746-SUCEGOWRQ4VRGQEYI76Y/My+Post-3.jpg Home - The Evolution of an Activist: Part 2 Photography by Smeeta Mahanti.

I feel like there are very few cultural barriers for Gen Z (in a good way). I think that this stems, in part, from having access to the internet from a young age. However, I think that broad generalizations about age groups are rarely accurate.” -DAVIS O’SHEA, Oakland, CA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1603923587443-DILTFBUGFUCK8JT7S3MZ/My+Post.jpg Home - The Evolution of an Activist: Part 2 https://representcollaborative.com/stories/ride-out-to-vote monthly 0.5 2020-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1603901938382-VCJ1NYZX72KR5IOTN0XQ/ROTV+photo+23+by+Desmond+O_Shea.jpg Home - RIDE OUT TO VOTE “Generally those seen sitting atop a horses back throughout history, and in our textbooks are white, and powerful. Generals. Conquerors. Horses are large. Their size can be intimidating, their presence humbling. They cannot be easily ignored.

Everything went smoothly, there were no difficulties or challenges we faced! The turnout was great! We probably had a few hundred I'd say show up everyone wore masks and were able to social distance at the rally in front of the Phillip Burton Federal Building. We had a very diverse turnout with people from all backgrounds but most importantly the youth.

I was filming a youth-voter awareness video in San Francisco for Youth Advocates for Change later that week where I interviewed Henry Shane. I met and befriended Henry at a protest that I spoke at called A March for Change at Alamo Square park in San Francisco back in July. After filming this video and talking more, I knew Henry would be a great person to contact to help plan this protest—he has helped organize and lead several protests as well including the community of Menlo Park & LGBTQ+ community in solidarity to BLM, the Global Climate Strike, Black Rock Climate Strike, and Menlo Park in solidarity to BLM and Remembering George Floyd. Sydney, Jack, Cami and Sofia organize weekly protests in Danville for BLM and voter awareness.

We talked to our subjects about how they find joy, how they express it, and how they share it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1613337421930-UWM00IU3DT2Q1EHMZ3GQ/NEW+ADMIN.png History - After the past four years of in-your-face hate and blatant incompetence, it can be easy for those who don’t have battle of discrimination and white supremecy on a daily baisis to feel like the war has been won. But for many, it’s just another opportunity for injustices to go into hiding, and for allies to take their foot off the gas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1613330146597-1ZQ102LMHHWPLVG8RYAG/Black_Truth_0018.jpg History - “Being West Indian, my family always had a very kind of consistent view…that we could never rely on white people.“ -George McCalman https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23043ceb76c1115312cab3/1613330295047-VPD9SWLKB1FI9PFXRE8M/Black_Truth_0522.jpg History - “I lived in a Black community and went to a Black school.
