Our democracy is under threat, but we will not yield to an authoritarian takeover. We are standing together and fighting back in defense of our rights, our communities, and our values. Please join us!
Weekly protests in Freeport:
Mondays, 7:30am -9:00 AM AND 4:30-6:00 PM Rush Hour Brigade Old County Road overpass
Tuesdays, 8:00am-10:00 AM Corner of Main and School St. (run by “Visibility Freeport”)
Wednesdays, 4:30 PM-6:00 PM Rush Hour Brigade Old County Road overpass
Fridays, 7:30am-9:00 AM AND 4:30-6:00 PM Rush Hour Brigade Old County Road overpass
Saturdays, 11:00 AM-12:30 PM Desert Road and Route 1 intersection (near Shaw’s)
Please participate whenever you can. As this protest movement evolves, an understanding has grown that we are more likely to convince other people by showing that we support things that they support, rather than by expressing our outrage over a political figure. To that end, some ideas for signage include (but are definitely NOT limited to): ”Protect the Constitution,” “Due Process for All,” “Defend Free Speech,” “Stop Project 2025,” “Save Veterans’ Benefits,” “Save our National Parks,” “Protect Medical Research…”
