Overpasses for Democracy: I91-Longmeadow (Monthly)

Stand up for democracy with your neighbors across the region! Hundreds of us will stand with banners, flags, and signs on overpasses across Massachusetts, Vermont, and Connecticut. These standouts have been immensely successful, so are continuing the 4th Friday of each month 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm. Events are rain or shine unless there is severe weather conditions. Register now to get updates and more information. These overpass standouts are being organized by a coalition of pro-democracy groups across New England. This overpass location is being sponsored by Rise Up Western Mass Indivisible How to Get There: The address Bark Haul Road will get you there if you're using Waze. (Bark Haul Road is off Route 5.) The event is on the I-91 overpass. There's plenty of parking at either end of Bark Haul Rd, although you can't park on the overpass. If You Bring a Sign, Banner, or Flag For sign and banner lettering, bigger is better, so it can be easily read from the roadway. Flags are great, too. Wouldn't it be amazing to reclaim our flag? No signs can be attached to the overpass fencing so be prepared to hold your sign. Never drape anything over the fence, even with ropes, because it would be very dangerous if it accidentally fell onto the highway. Other Logistics No Port-A-Potties are available. Please take everything you brought away with you and leave the site totally clean. *A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.*
