Triangle Area (Durham, Raleigh, Cary, Chapel Hill): Make Billionaires Pay

We are a coalition called Operation Overpass and includes 14 states who have a unified bridge brigade on the same day. In the Triangle area, we are on 17 bridges in Durham and Raleigh. We will have protectors on multiple bridges to show that We the People have Power and not the Billionaires. We are tired of their trampling on our rights and hurting us. We are not going away, we are not backing down, and we support our neighbors and workers.
We will have American flags, Rainbow flags, Ukraine flags, and signs that say "Freedom 4 All". We ask people to bring signs that are visible to drivers below saying, "TAX THE RICH" "WORKERS OVER BILLIONAIRES" and "HOUSING FOR ALL" "FOOD FOR ALL" "RAISE MINIMUM WAGE".
IT IS IMPORTANT TO please choose your bridge using the SignUp Genius: https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/4090C4DABAF2DA46-57528598-triangle
Please tell your friends to come.

People loved driving under bridge after bridge seeing our protectors up there sharing a unified message. You can learn details by visiting our website.
As the United States braces for extreme heat, wildfires, and hurricanes, the Trump administration just rammed through a mega-bill defunding our communities to give handouts to billionaires. They’re dismantling our democracy, attacking immigrants, and feeding the war profiteers. The attacks on our people are directly tied to the attacks on our planet. The billionaire fascists are hoarding resources and leaving working class communities across the globe to face the impacts of the extreme weather and rising seas.
Among Trump's billionaire buddies, a handful of Big Oil & Gas executives are raking in profits while the rest of us pay the price of rising costs, toxic pollution, and worsening climate disasters.
All across the world, authoritarian regimes are on the rise but people are fighting back. We are uniting across the world to demand a better future for our communities and for all living beings.
- Shut down billionaires. Fund our future.
- Shut down fascists. Protect migrants and the global majority.
- Shut down polluters. Defend Mother Earth.
We are rising up for our people and our planet. Will you join us?
