An Activist Armed With a Camera will be a self-published 8×10 hardcover book with approximately 100 pages featuring photos I have taken since February 2011. You will get a view into movements and protests over the past three years as seen through my eyes, as well as the story of my personal experiences along the way.
The book will include images from the 2011 Wisconsin Uprising, Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Gezi, the 2012 RNC and DNC, the 2012 NATO protest in Chicago, Occupy 1-year anniversaries in NYC, Chicago, and DC, Occupy Sandy (Hurricane Sandy aftermath/recovery), the Enbridge pipeline blockade in Northern Minnesota, the 3-day March for Education Justice in Chicago, the Forward on Climate Rally in DC, and others.
“In a culture dominated by corporate media propaganda, Jenna Pope uses her courage and her camera to challenge the mainstream narrative. The images and stories she shares not only prevent the 1% from hiding their global crimes, they also prevent the 99% from hiding behind the ‘I didn’t know’ excuse. Jenna’s work is photography as direct action.” – Mickey Z., author of Occupy This Book (Sullivan St. Press, 2014)
