Protest Safety Portraits

Acts of civil disobedience have become more commonplace over the past several years, as citizens have challenged Trump, police brutality against Black Americans, the US Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, and the brutal Israel-Hamas war. Now the protests are targeting abuses of government power and broader threats to freedom. If you're thinking about joining a protest near you, there are some crucial factors to consider: The US government is now allowing federal immigration agents to conduct sweeping raids, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement is reportedly detaining and deporting people who are in the US on legal visas, including many students. And, while police brutality is an abstract concept for some, it’s a stark reality for others.
