If you're excited about Backbone's brand of artful activism and want to fuel more actions like these, please make a donation here. Being the Nation's Prop Library for Progressive Activism requires staff, supplies, imagery shipping, and more. We're all in this together, and we cannot do this without your support.

Olympia Visibility Brigade at Boulevard Rd SE over I-5
- Sat, May 24, 2025 at 12:00 PM
- Boulevard Rd SE over I-5 in East Olympia, WA
Building on multiple successful banner actions, Backbone is growing our overpass bannering by adding people and locations. Volunteers are building additional banners so we can increase the number of squads and locations for deployment.

Impatient for the next big protest? Olympia Visibility Brigade is too! Join them weekly to make good trouble!

They deploy each weekend on overpasses in the Olympia-Tumwater-Lacey Area. They also deploy on Monday during evening rush hour. They support Capitol protests when possible.

Bring your high-viz signs, flags, fun costumes, a good mood, and be tolerant of terrible dancing. Introverts welcome!

Send an email to [email protected] if you live elsewhere and would like to organize or be part of a bannering squad in your area.
