Meet on the Tower Bridge Overpass over WI-53

We provide physical messaging in the real world to connect with and activate voters to demonstrate that resistance is possible. Prepare to wave and generally have a good time.

Rules and Protocols

  1. We avoid doing anything that could either harm ourselves or anyone else. This includes stepping into traffic, holding a sign where it could fall onto cars below, climbing fencing, etc.

  2. We must not block pedestrian and bike traffic, so please keep the middle of the overpass and/or sidewalk clear to allow them to pass.

  3. We supply the messages, you supply the waves. However, you are welcome to also display your own poster boards. Just avoid any messaging that would be rated above a PG-13.

  4. We don’t litter. If we find litter, we pick it up and throw it away.

  5. We are NOT allowed to attach the signs to the fencing on the overpass. We don’t use stickers or anything that leaves a permanent mark on the overpass. However, chalk is okay and even encouraged.

  6. If someone from the ‘opposition’ comes up to talk with us, do not engage with them. Best to just ignore them. One member will be designated to handle them and video record any aggressive interaction so that you can go right on waving.

  7. We take lots of pictures and videos during our action for circulation on social media. If you prefer not to be included, please let us know and/or consider wearing a mask.

  8. Should law enforcement pay us a visit, only the designated point person from the group should address them.

  9. Ignore the middle fingers and negativity coming from some of the cars below. For every one of those confused folks, you are providing hope to another 100 people!

  10. The Visibility Brigade is a non-violent, informal volunteer group in which we all participate with an understanding that our own actions are our personal responsibility and we accept our own personal liability. You participate with this understanding.
