Philly Vigil for Renee Good – NoIcePhilly

Federal IcE agents shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis last week. While there have been peaceful mass protests in MSP and across the US since, in Minneapolis armed federal agents are chasing school buses and knocking on doors demanding access to homes to ‘verify citizenship’.

There was a vigil for Renee Good at City Hall last Thursday evening and about 2000 of us showed up to pay respects and put Trump on notice that the brutal tactics of iCE agents will not be tolerated in our city. We don’t need masked armed gunmen in unmarked cars snatching people off the streets, we need full funding for SEPTA, Schools, affordable housing, improved Medicare for All and a living wage job with union rights and working conditions for anyone who wants to work.

Renee Good is the 4th person to be shot and killed by IcE over the past year, 32 people have died in custody and in addition to the thousands of documented and undocumented immigrants arrested, 100’s of US citizens – including minors – have been detained by federal agents, in some cases for days and weeks with no contact with families or legal defense.

Best Laid Plans….

I started out giving myself a project of picking my 12 favorite shots from 2017 because…. well its that time of year… Anyway, that quickly got out of hand, so I gave up on that and changed the self assignment to pick 12 shots from 2017 that I like but hadn’t posted. That morphed into putting together a cross section of shots from 2017 that represented some experiments, diverse content, cameras and medium (35mm and Medium Format film, and digital). 12 grew to 13… Cuz I wanted the Meek Mill pic in there… So here it is.

Cameras Used: Nikon D300 (Digital), Nikon F100, Nikon FE2, Zorki 4, Yashica D

Films Used: TriX, Kodak Portra 400, HP5, Fomopan100
