Lana Lawrence

Rehoboth Beach, DE, DE

Political event and documentary photographer in Washington, D.C. with an interest in that holy trinity of race, class, and gender. (currently on medical leave). Largely focused on human rights, including the following: women in politics, women's history, reducing poverty, child abuse, increasing women's health education and access, people with disabilities, and reducing hospital-acquired infections.

I'm especially interested in networking with like-minded individuals, and those who are also interested in using visual media for social change. While I am most experienced as a still photographer, I am also transitioning to doing some work in video.

Tell the FBI: Rape is Rape!

Let's not minimize this horrific crime more than it is already being minimized - especially by the legal system. I have experienced this crime and no one should have ever inquired as to my dress, my actions, or how much I may have had to drink. The FBI needs to catch up to the times, and it needs to stop denying the seriousness of this horrific crime.

Tell Village Voice Media to Stop Child Sex Trafficking on Backpage.com

This issue enrages me - not only because I am a survivor of serial sexual assault as a child, but because I am a human who cares about the welfare of our children.

Demand Facebook Remove Pages That Promote Sexual Violence

When you've been a victim of sexual violence, it's particularly heartbreaking to see it on social networking sites such as Facebook. Don't be like the early days of AOL when "everything goes" was the motto. Clean it up, Facebook! And help victims while you are at it.
