Power to the Polls

Chattanooga Women's March, Chattanooga, TN, 2018 A marcher raises a sign declaring "Power to the People, Power to the Polls" against a stark white wall, the message layered in bold purple, teal, and green. Shot from behind, the photograph captures the quiet determination of individual action within collective movement—one person's raised voice among many, channeling protest into political power. The composition speaks to the march's ultimate purpose: transforming street activism into electoral strength. The weathered urban backdrop, the bare winter trees, and the marcher's purposeful stance create a sense of urgency and resolve. This is not symbolic action for its own sake, but a call to translate outrage into votes, visibility into influence, and gathering into governance. The sign's message is unambiguous: power belongs with the people, and the path to claiming it runs through the ballot box. Shot on Olympus PEN-F
