The Bridge Brigades Action Team performs high-visibility, actions holding signs on highway overpasses.
There are numerous Bridge Brigade efforts throughout the Boston Metro area and three in Newton. Since January, 2025, we have posted hundreds of signs to combat complacency and encourage the public to confront urgent political issues. We are part of the nationwide Visibility Brigade movement. People need “social proof” and we deliver inspiration weekly with new messages commenting on the issues of our time.
