Join us Friday, May 1 from 12 noon to 1 PM at the Supreme Court, Griffing Ave., Riverhead. People over billionaires, democracy not authoritarianism, no ICE cooperation from local law enforcement. Rally to Town Hall to speak out and press them to pass OLA’s public safety law. March down to downtown Main Street to show support for our local small businesses - boycott big biz! For one day, no Amazon, no Target, no Walmart. Support our neighbors in their small businesses in Riverhead.

Join us for an hour of solidarity and resistance. We will meet at a highly visible overpass in Poughkeepsie NY to share a message to drivers that we don't support the current regime. No need to bring anything but your patriotism and enthusiasm!!!

### Join us for an overpass visibility action! We’ll use huge letters to spell out an inspiring message for passing cars (message TBD in response to current events). Every First and Third Wednesday of the month! Bring snacks, bring kids, let's make this a fun, family-friendly community gathering! It can be windy and cold on the overpass. Bring a jacket and warm hat. Street parking is available nearby. ** RSVP strongly encouraged so you can get updates if any (note: rain cancels). We look forward to being visible with you!

Every other Sunday, check the listing dates. Berkeley is the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement. We use large letters to spell out messages in support of human rights to cars passing below. Messages are responsive to current events. We estimate nearly 17,000 people pass under the bridge each hour making this action impactful and fun. RSVP for updates! Overpass actions are a great entry into the public resistance movement. The events tend to be less crowded and we work to solicit honks by waving at passing cars. Pop by for encouragement, no need to stay the entire time. Photos and video of this event may be shared publicly, please inform photographers if you are a ninja. We look forward to being visible with you! Rain or Shine.

# Welcome to the Rush-hour Resistance! 📣 [Rush Hour Resistance Rally](https://rhrr.us) began with a clear idea: **neighbors, gathering peacefully and regularly on busy nearby streets, could remind our communities that democracy is essential and that silence is unacceptable.** Over the last year, RhRR expanded from a handful of participants to multiple locations across the Valley, reaching thousands of pedestrians and motorists each week. This momentum is significant, as is the duty it brings. 🗳️ As we approach the midterm elections, our united mission is to safeguard free and fair elections and promote civic participation, particularly in local and primary races where every vote carries weight. **Our weekly rallies are more than outlets for frustration; they are consistent, visible commitments that normalize voting and democratic engagement as neighborly expectations.** 🕊️ RhRR is a peaceful, nonconfrontational movement. **Our goal is to reach the broader community, not to confront those seeking conflict.** When tensions surface, we withdraw, stay composed, and look out for one another. This discipline keeps our rallies inviting and helps newcomers feel secure joining us. 🫂 Most of all, RhRR is about people caring for one another while standing up for the future of our democracy. **Every person who shows up, every sign held, and every conversation sparked on a street corner is part of something larger and deeply hopeful.** ## Here’s what’s in store for our Monday afternoon event in the Park Central area: 🕥 The event starts at 4:00 pm. You are free to show up anytime, but we recommend arriving a few minutes early to introduce yourself. We end promptly at 5:30 pm. Some attendees meet up afterward at [Mi Patio](https://www.mipatioaz.com/) to decompress and socialize. We’re a friendly bunch! And they have $4.19 margaritas! 🅿️ There’s plenty of parking in the Safeway lot on the NE corner. We haven’t had issues before, but parking enforcement is unpredictable. If concerned, check with others. 🚦 Some people stand on a corner of the intersection. Others walk the crosswalks when the lights change. You do you! 🖌️ One of RhRR’s strengths is that people feel free to express themselves. Ideally, your signs would help articulate any of our three pillars: - **Defending democracy and the rule of law** - **Encouraging voting** - **Protecting neighbors and communities** (e.g., immigrants, LGBTQIA+ people, workers, and veterans) This approach keeps signs aligned with RhRR’s purpose, while preserving personal expression and emotional authenticity. 🇺🇳 Flags, banners, and even inflatable costumes are welcome. Some blow lots of bubbles. While our mission is serious, humor and camaraderie matter. 😷 RhRRs are peaceful, public events. Most attendees don’t hide their faces, though some do; participate at your comfort level. Photos and videos are common on social media, but you can ask posters to remove accidental appearances. Thanks in advance for joining us. See you on the streets! ✊

_This is a volunteer-organized event!_ Come join us on the Washington Street 101 overpass (southside) every Thursdays, to peacefully demonstrate against the administration’s corruption, amorality, and lies. This will be a regular weekly protest spot/time. Let’s show our community that resistance is alive and active. Bring your signs and your spirit and pass the word on.
