Come join the coolest protest demonstration around! 🚨
We install bold, provocative messages in highly visible areas during rush hour traffic—while having a blast✊🎉
Itinerary (Times may shift a bit depending on traffic & weather)

10:00–10:30 AM: Install & set up signs, banners, flags
10:30–1:00 PM: Dance Party! (Yes, really—we wave flags 🚩, shake pom poms 🎀, bang cowbells 🔔, swing pool noodles 🏖️—anything to make drivers look up at our message!)
1:00–1:30 PM: Take down & pack up

Weather

Rain? We’re still on. Fascism doesn’t take a break for the weather—neither do we! (We don’t melt ☔)
Severe storms (hail, lightning, etc.) are a different story.
Snow – we still go out! We may end early based on extreme temperatures. Dress warm and bring a thermos of hot chocolate. Inflatables are very warm and encouraged

What to Bring

Water or another drink (stay hydrated—it gets hot!)
Fun props (pom poms, cowbell 🔔, pool noodles 🏖️, etc.)
Comfortable clothes you can move & sweat in
A smile + a helpful attitude

What Not to Bring

Protest signs 🪧 (unless letters are 2+ feet tall—otherwise drivers can’t see them).

The Bridge Message is our focus—help us keep it strong
Rules of the Road (and Bridge!)

If MAGA folks approach, record—don’t engage.
If police come: no worries, we’re legally allowed to protest (we’ve checked).
Stay to the sides so cyclists, runners, and walkers can pass easily.
Motorist engagement: stay positive—even with the haters.

Be safe, be helpful, and HAVE FUN!
