We invite you to join the fight with your own banner brigade!

Backbone Campaign amplifies the aspirations of "We the People" with creative strategies and artful activism to manifest a world where life, community, nature, and our obligations to future generations are honored as sacred.  

Backbone Campaign Pledge of Nonviolence: Backbone Campaign is a nonviolent movement-building organization that utilizes creative tactical tools and artful activism and is strongly committed to nonviolence in all of its work. We unequivocally condemn any form of violence, property destruction, or advocacy of violence by representatives of, or participants in Backbone-affiliated actions. We will not condone any actions that could endanger our supporters, the public, or counter-protestors. We consider any call for violence or behavior inconsistent with the above to be agent-provocateur-like behavior, and it will not be tolerated. To participate in Backbone actions, participants must agree to this nonviolence pledge.

We invite you to join us in reclaiming our democracy by building a populism that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Stand up, Skill up & Pitch-in for social, economic, and environmental justice with boldness and creativity! Amplify your impact with artful activism that earns media and makes people feel empowered and emboldened. 

  • D.I.Y. Tactics - A variety of creative tactics and replicable actions you and a few friends can mobilize for maximum impact!
  • Imagery Library - A library of giant imagery, inflatables and puppets you can check out.
  • Solidarity Brigades - Connect with other creative change agents in our Solidarity Brigade peer-to-peer artful activist network.

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.
