Join the nationwide day of solidarity with Minnesota.
Friday, January 23 is a National Day of Solidarity and push for corporate accountability led by Minnesota organizers and national allies.
We will display a timely messages on a bridge, visible to drivers below or on the bridge thoroughfare. Your presence on the bridge shows support for the message and is encouraging to those in cars, trucks, metro trains and more. Come for the honks, the joy and the community.
We will be at the pedestrian/bike trail bridge close to N Potomac. You can use 1500 N Potomac in your GPS. The bridge and street parking are nearby.
Let’s be prepared if someone with opposing views approaches. Often they hope to make us react and be angry. Let’s not allow that. Ideally, if the situation arises, don’t engage and alert the bridge captain. Please teview the following, understanding not all applies to bridge protests.
