Visibility Brigade Democracy Wave on Pedestrian Bridge over Route 50 in Bowie, MD
This a local Indivisible event!
Come out and show support for our large letter signs promoting Democracy, facing both east- and west-bound lanes. Two signs with large letters for easy reading by passing cars will be in place. You are invited to show your support for these messages and to encourage the public to do the same. Your presence is a powerful message! This event will also connect you with your Democracy-supporting neighbors. You are not alone and YES, we can DO something!
What you can bring: 1) American flags, and as needed 2) Drinking water, 3) Wind gear, 3) Ear plugs (it can be loud up there), 4) Hand warmers, 5) Chair for yourself. The cars passing underneath make it windy.
We will cancel for any precipitation and wind above 15 mph during these winter months. We would like to swap days if we have to cancel but understand if that doesn’t work with your schedule (e.g., Sat or Mon instead of Fri). Watch for emails if we cancel re: grabbing an unscheduled day that Mother Nature may provide for us.
We are discouraging small hand-held signs because they can’t be read from a distance or at 55 mph, and so can be an unsafe distraction to drivers. We can’t leave anything behind on the bridge when we leave.
*A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.*
