The Visibility Brigade:
“The Visibility Brigade movement was born in 2020 on an overpass in Paramus, NJ out of a frustration due to the lack of physical messaging in the real world about the existential crisis that we face as a nation. There are now hundreds of Visibility Brigade groups across the country with new ones forming every day! You’ll find our nonviolent, pro-democracy messages posted on overpasses, chalked on sidewalks, on the sides of our Be Brave Parade caravans and all other public spaces!”
Look into a local chapter Group Directory - The Visibility Brigade: Resistance is Possible
