rivertext > In the summer of 2004 I traveled to New York City to take part in and photograph the protests at the Republican National Convention. We start out with the Church Ladies for Choice because I wish to consider in these captions the role the church plays in the Republican party.
rivertext > I was part of Team Cascadia -- an affinity group for folks from the 700 mile stretch of the earth that is crowned by the Cascade mountain range.
rivertext > A giant hand shakes families into the street and a couple collapses in despair when war kills their only child.
rivertext > A political party that values profits more than parents has no "Family Values." (This banner that I assembled for the protests shows, from left to right, 3 Images by Eric Drooker and 1 by Kathe Kollwitz).
rivertext > The night before the convention most of the delegates went to Broadway plays while squardrons of police stood guard. Many of the delegates expressed their love for "family values" at this high class strip club. Below a protester from Portland is arrested for walking towards one of these theaters. Later, a delegate shakes her fist at the protesters who were not arrested.
rivertext > Our east coast convergence space was in a purple room at St. Peter’s Church in the Bronx. Inspired by the Pastor's sermon, I wrote my own sermon: Jesus told a rich man seeking the kingdom of heaven to "sell all you possess and give the money to the poor." Jesus is not an easy God. He did not encourage his followers to pursue all the world's wealth guilt-free in exchange for "giving up" someone else's ability to choose whether or not to give birth or get married.
rivertext > Amelia, the founder of Team Cascadia, hopped freight trains to get to New York City. I photographed her at the moment she first entered the purple room of St. Peter's Church in the Bronx.
rivertext > The most moving protests were the two poor people's marches that took place on the opening day of the convention. Here, in the center of the photograph, the Bible is held where its author walked -- in the streets with the poor.
rivertext > Families make up 40% of America’s homeless population.
