From Joy to Justice: Our Collective Journey for a Brighter Tomorrow

You know how much we absolutely love celebrating life's vibrant moments through our lenses, capturing amazing stories from around the globe! Our work takes us to so many incredible places, and it truly deepens our commitment to seeing a world where everyone can live with joy, dignity, and peace.

It's no secret that these days, many of us are grappling with the unsettling rise of fascism and authoritarianism, both at home and around the world. Our hearts are especially with those enduring unimaginable hardship, particularly in Gaza, where the urgent need for aid and a free Palestine demands our attention.

At Chloe Jackman Photography, we truly believe in channeling our collective energy for good and shining a light wherever we can. Individually and as a team, we're actively learning, listening, and contributing where we can. It's so easy to fall into the trap of "doom scrolling" on social media, leaving us feeling helpless and despairing. Instead, we want to empower you with resources for actionable impact, making it easier to engage and build community together. We've curated a list of resources to empower you to get involved, whether it's through humanitarian support or advocating for justice.

This will be a living resource page and we are committed to continually updating it as we become aware of new organizations and information.

Together, we can make a difference!

In love and solidarity,
The Team at CJP
