About
The Spokane Visibility Brigade sprang to life on the afternoon of May 30, 2025, when a small cadre of local resisters organized to place placards spelling out "WA FIGHTS FASCISM" on the Regal St. footbridge over I-90. The demonstration was inspired by the growing presence on social media of freeway overpass demonstrations.
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 multiple brigades across the country with new ones forming every day!!
We believe that people need “social proof” to inform them how best to respond to this crisis, and we deliver inspiration weekly with new messages commenting on the issues of our time. Our goal is to remind neighbors of our nation’s emergency and to suggest simple actions they can take and encourage support of pro-democratic state and national political candidates. We literally stand over our messages, waving at passing cars, reminding everyday people that they are not alone in these unprecedented times.
