I-91 Overpass Standouts Planned Across Three States

Residents across three states will coordinate their demonstrations along at least twenty I-91 overpasses during the evening commute on April 25. Northbound drivers will see banners and signs beginning in Connecticut, continuing north through Massachusetts, and well into southern Vermont. 

Decrying the multiple attacks on our democracy and our society being caused by the current administration, signs include, “Uphold our Constitution,” “Due Process,” “Tariffs are a tax on all of us,” “Wake up,” “Silence is not an option,” “Who will they take next?” “Democracy in danger, speak out now.”  

This collaboration is an expansion of ongoing peaceful protests along the interstate corridor regularly hosted throughout the past months by a grassroots coalition of pro-democracy organizations including Indivisible Brattleboro, Franklin County Continuing the Political Revolution, Indivisible West Quabbin, Indivisible Northampton/Swing Left Western Mass, Rise Up Western Mass Indivisible and Indivisible North Central CT. 

The purpose is to raise awareness about the violation of our constitutional rights, demonstrated by the kidnapping of legal residents off the streets and from their homes, their detention and transportation out-of-state or out of the country, all without due process. Every individual living in the United States is threatened. In addition, cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, veterans’ services, funding of all kinds to universities and non-profits, and the downsizing and/or eradication of the Department of Education, the EPA, NOAA, and more are completely unacceptable.
