Headlines tell part of the story. Policy debates, bans, and executive orders dominate a relentless news cycle. But power doesn’t stay on the floor of the legislature: it moves through our lives. It redraws the boundaries of safety, autonomy, and belonging.
This exhibition brings together portraits of trans people fighting to exist safely, women resisting restrictions on bodily autonomy, survivors confronting systems built to ignore them, mothers navigating care and cost, and communities bearing—and challenging—the weight of environmental and institutional neglect.
Photographed by women and queer photographers for The 19th, these images reflect our mission: to center lives too often shut out of power, and to document the unfinished business of representation, visibility, and justice.

The 19th
The 19th is an independent, non-profit newsroom reporting at the intersection of gender, politics, and policy. We’re committed to empowering women and LGBTQ+ people—especially those from underrepresented communities—with the information, resources, and tools they need to be equal participants in our democracy. Rooted in the unfinished promise of the 19th Amendment, we challenge the systems that continue to exclude many from full participation in US politics, amplifying the voices of those too often left out of the conversation.
