The memory behind this photo:

I received my report card this year in hand, at 6. When I read it I was confused because it listed my race as white. When my mother explained why she said, "the have racial quotas they have to make, and we couldn't enroll you because there were too many black kids already; we had to prove that you are a percentage of white"

Our grandparents' house (Mr. & Mrs. E.V. Nelson) located at 14th & M st. (1405 S. M St.)
Also, E.V. Nelson and his daughter Katherine Nelson are in another photo. Erna Nelson is also in a photo.

Memories: Their house was next door to a church (on the corner of 14th & M ). We visited often, and my older sisters remember going to K Street often to shop. My grandparents emigrated from Sweden in the early 1900s.

Kat Wood holding a sign reading, "Fundamental human rights should NOT depend on your zip code!" with an LGBTQ pride flag sticker and a map of the United States with x-marks over states that restrict or outlaw abortion access.

Interviewer: What brings you here today?
"Oh, so much anger and so much sadness. Um, Roe has been around my entire life and I can’t believe we’re fighting the fights of our grandmothers again and again and again… and trans people and non-binary people are especially gonna be hurt by these laws. I mean, really, all people who need abortion care and need health care deserve to be able to have that equitably and safely and with dignity and I can’t believe we’re having to fight this again."

Kat Moulton holds a sign reading "Expand abortion access."

Declined to comment.

Serena Jouers holds her small dog and a sign reading, "If I wanted the government in my uterus I'd fuck a politician."

"I feel like I need to do what I can to help spread the message and to help show that we will stand up for our rights and not let this get overturned and that there’s people out here, everywhere, that want – that feel passionately about it."

Autumn Fiore holds a sign reading, "If your activism isn't intersectional, then who is it for?"

"Overturning Roe v. Wade is much more than just taking away a person’s bodily autonomy, it could be a slippery slope into other landmark Supreme Court decisions that protect our rights to privacy, bodily autonomy, and just, our choices to do what we would like. Uh, and so I wanna take a stand and make sure that doesn’t happen. Um, the government doesn’t have a right to dictate who we choose to marry, whether we choose to keep a pregnancy, none of it. Um, and I know that there worst fear is us standing up for our rights, but, that doesn’t mean that we just let them do whatever they want."
