Stand up for democracy with Franklin County neighbors and people up and down the Valley! Hundreds of us will stand with banners and signs on seven I-91 overpasses in Franklin County at the same time that people stand out on I-91 overpasses from Connecticut up to Vermont. We’ll be visible to thousands of people driving on I-91 during the Friday evening commute and the beginning of Memorial Day weekend.
Franklin County’s I-91 overpass standouts are being organized by Franklin County Continuing the Political Revolution (FCCPR), Indivisible West Quabbin and Gill Indivisible.
We The People stand to raise awareness about attacks on our society by the Trump administration.
We The People stand to:
•Save the Constitution
•Save Medicare
•Save Medicaid
•Save Social Security
•Save Veteran’s Services
•Save funding to universities and non-profits
•Save the Department of Education
•Save EPA
•Save NOAA
•Save libraries
•Save Head Start
•Stop ICE from kidnapping people
•Stop attacks on free speech
•Stop the othering of the queer/transgender community
We stand to RESIST!
Bring signs and banners with LARGE BOLD messages so they can be read by drivers on I-91.
This action is legal and nonviolent. Safety is essential… take care with parking and walking to/from the overpass and during the standout.
Parking is available on the side of Woodard Road.
