I-91 Sunday Overpass ProtestSunday, 12/21, 1 pmOrganizer: Indivisible Greater FallsLocation: Westminster, Kurn Hattin Road I-91 overpass south of Exit 5
Weather and roadside conditions permitting, we gather every Sunday afternoon on the Kurn Hattin Road I-91 overpass. If you can’t stay for a full two hours, no problem. Come join us for whatever time you can, engage with others who share your feelings about this out-of-control regime, encourage others to hold them accountable, and make some new friends along the way.
We face north to engage with travelers heading south, many returning from a weekend in Vermont, as well as locals out enjoying their weekend. It’s really important to always think of safety first for our members and the drivers passing to keep us in good standing with the whole community.

| | Another source for posters, signs and ideasJon Sachs, a Swing Blue Alliance member is pouring energy into a Trump Tragedies website that has a page devoted to free, downloadable 8.5 x 11 in. protest-themed posters. These are protest messaging that can be posted on America’s streets and easily shared by a website link could help get much more protest messaging in the public eye. Eighteen posters are now available on the site. There’s also an online suggestion box for additional posters that people think should be added. |
