Life on Lockdown

Photos & Stories from DC Youth During COVID-19

ICYMI.

On Tuesday, June 9th, CE hosted a live talk with youth panelists on Life on Lockdown. Watch here!

Note: Our bad. As part of our Life on Lockdown talk, we miscredited a protest photo to CE Alum Jeremiah G. The photo was shared by Jeremiah via @KingBach's Instagram page.


We are a collective of Black and Brown youth activists in DC who organize using photography to raise awareness and tell our stories of the issues in our communities. Through Life on Lockdown, we use our voices to highlight the impact of COVID-19 on young people's mental health, education, and relationships. We hope you take away how we see the impact of racism on health, environmental, and education issues during our life being on lockdown.
