Today's brigade is cancelled (Thursday, May 28th)
🪧 See you on the bridge this Sunday! 🪧
Special D-DAY Brigade on Saturday, June 6th, 3-4pm
Needham Resists Visibility Brigade is a group of local citizens who are concerned with the current administration's actions. Â
We peacefully protest on the Kendrick St. overpass of I-95/Rte 128. We provide a message that is placed on the bridge fence facing the highway traffic. We wave to cars both on the highway and bridge overpass holding American flags and signs of protest (must be PG-13). Sample messages include #freespeech, Save Democracy, and No Kings.
Join us Thursdays from 4-5pm; ; meet at Cutler Park at 3:45pm
Join us Sundays from 3-4pm; meet at Cutler Park at 2:45pmÂ
Weather: Due to National urgency, we will be out regardless of weather unless otherwise posted above. Please make the safe choice for yourself as to whether to participate or not.
Sign up via Mobilize to let us know you are coming.
See map and directions below.
Sign up for a weekly email reminder and/or updates from us.
Read the guide prepared by the original Visibility Brigade Rush Hour Resistance group (NJ) to understand expectations of participants.
NEW! Do not engage with counter protestors, no matter how angry they make you or the lies they spew! Walk away. If these people escalate, let the leaders handle it.Â
Avoid doing anything that could either harm ourselves or anyone else.
Must not block pedestrian and bike traffic.
You are welcome to hold your own poster boards; just avoid any messaging that would be rated above a PG-13.
If someone from the ‘opposition’ comes up to talk with us, do not engage with them.
Don’t use stickers or anything that leaves a permanent mark on the overpass
