I Photographed The Largest Global Strike Ever – Here Are The People & Stories Of History
On September 20th, 2019 over 4million people marched for climate action! I was part of the 250,000+ people that joined together in New York alone.
It was a day of true unity between thousands, millions of strangers. It was so overwhleming and uplifting. I’m beyond honored to have photographed and been a part of history.

Please remember that our actions don’t stop here. You must live by your beliefs everyday and fight for climate action everyday.

Photo by Richard Frant. (www.frantvisuals.com) I met Richard in the middle of the busy crowd. At first he just wanted a photo of my sign, but then we talked and I learned he was too a photographer. It’s amazing the artists you can meet just by including them in your art!
A young, headstrong girl stands on a traffic light holding her sign proudly above her head. She didn’t move a muscle and didn’t peak one smile as she knew the emergency we are facing.
This lovely lady was protesting, with a cane and foldable seat. She sat down when the crowd was at a stand-still. She said that she protested in her youth. She held a water wave above her head for the saying “The ocean is rising and so are we!” I just admire that even in her elderly age, she managed to rise still with a smile on her face!
These activists were LOUD. loved them and their energy.
I love this photo because this child was not apart of the protest route, but stood in the corner of a building. So even people passing on the street couldn’t ignore the matter. He held up his sign so strong like a statue.

A cap of strength! I had to pull this woman to the side to take her portrait because I loved her jacket, which her daughter made.
A mother protests holding a sign in one hand and pushing her child with the other arm. Now this is one boss momma. although this was a youth led movement, it was so uplifting to see parents taking their kids too young to protest out to teach them in the importance of their right to a better life.
Too young to protest, but not too young to see and learn.
HEAR US!
A young girl on her father’s shoulders tries to asorb all the faces and signs around her. I managed to grab this photo between signs and protesters.
