Census 2020 Kickoff at East Boston Library
Event photography: I photographed this Census 2020 campaign launch that brought together several partner organizations who are working to get a complete count. The focus was on outreach to low-income communities and immigrants — typically hard-to-count demographics. Mainly my job was to collect portraits of people and their signs for social media, but I tried to cover the whole scene. Lots of great faces! The photos were shared between many organizations to get the word out on their websites (last image) and social media. A few of the partner organizations are listed below.

Massachusetts Voter Table Director Beth Huang
New England United 4 Justice Executive Director Mimi Ramos
