My smile when I think about the past 10 months... From the very beginning to the very end (of this year)! It’s hard to see in the moment just how much you have grown and the significance of the people around you, but I’m so thankful for all of the love I have found. I may be a few days late in saying this, but thank you for a beautiful, life-changing year, I can’t wait for 3 more! #hacksandchops #ups #notamailservice (at University of Puget Sound)

“There are people that will tell us that we can’t. And to them, I respond with this quote that sums up this generation: ‘Yes. We. Can.’ Yes, we can. Yes, we will. And I thank each and every person who showed up to this rally and to rallies across the country. YOUR determination is what makes this country great.” ~ A Lakes High School Student ..........................................Yesterday we #marchedforourlives and tomorrow the work doesn’t stop. These are the faces, young and old, of the people standing their ground and saying #neveragain to gun violence in America. .........................................Sorry for the long caption, but I did write some more of my thoughts and shared some more photos from #marchforourlives in Tacoma, WA and I would love it if you would take a look and show some love. .........................................The link is in my bio. But you can also find it at: https://jessjoyblog.wordpress.com/category/uncategorized/ .........................................#enoughisenough #endgunviolence #iwillmarch #marchforourliveswashington #marchforourlivestacoma #photography #people #protest (at People's Park)

These pictures are full of joy, love, and happiness. They are tiny moments in the busy, yet exciting life of what high school should be. But today my former classmates and some of my dearest friends spent their school day barricaded in the dark of their own classrooms, hiding from a threat of gun violence. Sitting in fear and uncertainty. We are lucky that they are all safe, but we can no longer be certain of our own safety. I, myself, spent much of the day worried about my friends, my former-teachers and my community that I consider my beloved home. Please, I beg you to call your representatives, move those feet on March 24th and use your voice to speak out, stand up and take action!! #oronoschools #guncontrolNOW #marchforourlives #wearenotsafe (at Orono, Minnesota)

Sharing some old photos that are full of memories and have captured a piece of my heart...starting with the #PNW #pieceofmyheart (at Olympia, Washington)

Spent my morning surrounded by beautiful people standing up for a beautiful movement. It’s time that our voices be heard and that ALL people are given the respect every human being deserves. And we will continue to march until equality becomes the norm. #womensmarch #womensmarchseattle2018 (at Capitol Hill)

Highly recommend being the cliché-American tourist in your own city...it’s pretty worthwhile to know the history of the place you live, not just the far-away places we dream about. (at Minnesota State Capitol)
