Red Lens Needs Your Support!
On episode 17 of Red Lens Podcast, I sat down for a conversation with Oakland-based movement photographer Brooke Anderson. Brooke is a freelance photographer and photojournalist based on unceded Ohlone land in Oakland, California covering movements for social, economic, racial, and climate justice. Brooke first fell in love with photography while documenting the struggles of the low-wage workers (hotel housekeepers, port truck drivers, recycling workers) she was working with as a union and community organizer. She is a proud union member of the Pacific Media Workers Guild CWA 39521 AFL-CIO.
In the interview we talk about how she got into movement photography, the work she does in Oakland, and more!
