McIntosh Art Co. | Election Night 2020 (delayed) | CHAZ / CHOP Capitol Hill, Seattle, Washington

I took a quick trip to Capitol Hill on November 8th, 2020, when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were declared the winners in the 2020 Presidential Election of the United States of America. Many people have suffered the last four years in a system that feels oppressed, hopeless, fascist, anti-everything including environment, LGBTQ, women’s health rights, etc. These photos are grainy and imperfect but I hope you’ll feel how jubilant and elated folks were to celebrate this monumental victory. Dancing, fireworks, hugging, honking, screaming, music playing, etc. all dominated the streets in the CHAZ / CHOP area of Capitol Hill.

I attended the Black Lives Matter Protest on Capitol Hill in Seattle, Washington near Cal Anderson Park on June 2, 2020. This protest was the 4th day of protesting in Seattle, despite a strict, city-wide curfew of 5pm. The protests are a reaction to the death of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, in addition to hundreds of years of systematic racism and police brutality in the United States. These protestHere are some images I captured.

Several medic stations were set up throughout Capitol Hill to treat emergency medical situations including tear gas, rubber bullets, and flash bangs. In addition to supplies such as water, milk, and food, these people have volunteered their time for several days in a row to provide a restroom and any other needs protesters might have during the long days of speaking their minds.

Medic stations are set up all over Capitol Hill and this one is fully stocked with supplies to help protesters with any injuries or medical needs, including providing a restroom. They say to always look for the helpers and there were many on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2020.
