Activist efforts require activist photography. So, we gathered the members of the Cambridge Cooperative together to ask them: What are YOU rising for?
They are prepping for their production of The Vagina Monologues and asked me to help them create a series of promotion posters.
Activist Photography Goals
We wanted to show support for the One Billion Rising movement, “the biggest mass global action to end violence against women and girls in the history of mankind”.
To that end, we created 32 posters to illustrate the power of what can happen when people of all races, genders, ages, economic backgrounds, and political affiliations come together to say NO to domestic violence!
Adding to the excitement, President Obama recently signed into law the revised Violence Against Women Act, expanding protection to gays and Native Americans who are victims of domestic violence (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/07/obama-violence-against-women-act_n_2830158.html?utm_hp_ref=politics).
Join the cast of The Vagina Monologues at the Cambridge YMCA Theater on April 12, 13, 14 and rise above adversity!!!
