For my project I wanted to highlight individuals in a raw form who are going to be negatively affected by Trumps presidency. The first photo is of my friend Reece, he’s from Colorado and attending Western this year. Reece pays for his own tuition and will be facing student debt after college. Kamala Harris and the democratic party have worked towards forgiving student loan debt and making college more affordable, this is no longer the case. With the House and Senate being controlled by Republicans and Donald Trump taking office, bills like these are very unlikely to pass. This will directly affect students like Reece who will only have around 6 months to begin making payments on upwards of 120,000 dollars.

The second photo is of my friend Finna, a bisexual student at Western. Trumps Presidency will directly affect her right to choose who she loves which is a basic human right. Finna spoke about the anxiety that this second Trump Presidency has brought to her life and many others.

I want Trump supporters to see these photos and realize the horrors they’ve brought to these peoples lives.
