Sophie explained the Soapbox Project to me:
"West Ward Neighborhood Partnership is a program of the Community Action Committee of the Lehigh Valley. This year, I don't want to say we're 'celebrating,' but it's the fiftieth anniversary of the War On Poverty. So, Community Action Committee is asking people to speak up and stand up about issues around poverty and why there's poverty in the country. So we have this soapbox: you get up on the soapbox and make your ninety second speech and then we have a website, caclv.org, and your video will be posted up there."

I photographed the people of Easton, PA as well as documented their stories for a little over four years, between 2014 and 2018.
