• Biography: Brooke Anderson is an organizer and photographer living in Oakland, CA. As an organizer, Brooke has spent the last ten years of her life working for social, economic, and racial justice in Illinois and California. Working with students, labor unions, grassroots community organizations, immigrant worker leaders, veterans, and faith communities, she is proud to have been a part of significant advances in environmental health, affordable health care, living wages, immigrant rights, and worker justice. As a photographer, Brooke is inspired by the courage of everyday folks who – tired of suffering under a system in which their lives and health are too often viewed as acceptable casualties of corporate wealth – find common cause amidst their many differences and make a stand against injustice. She hopes that capturing on film these precious moments where humanity finds its dignity will honor the sacrifices of those who struggle and will inspire others into action. She learned compassion from her mom, and photography from three generations of photographers on her dad's side.
