## THE GREATEST BRIDGE BRIGADE EVER! On June 14th, Flag Day, join Rise Up Superior, Good Trouble Indivisible, Zenith City Indivisible, Duluth Indivisible, and Duluth 50501 for **Hands Across the Richard I. Bong Memorial Bridge**. We will assemble on either side of the Richard I. Bong Memorial Bridge between Superior and Duluth (or Duluth and Superior, depending on your perspective) and march with signs and flags across the bridge on the protected pedestrian/bike path. Somewhere near the middle, we will join hands (and hearts and minds) in a demonstration of unity for democracy, for justice and for community. Two States. Two Cities. One Bridge. One Country. Our Country. The Bong Bridge is 2.2 miles long - we will need about 3,000 people to be able to truly hold hands across the Bong Bridge. It is important to sign up so we can have a safe and successful event. ** After you sign up, please be sure click on the link in the "How to Prepare" section of the confirmation email you receive from Mobilize so we'll know your starting point: Duluth or Superior, and where to park.** This event is set up for the Duluth access to the bike/pedestrian path (W. Michigan and S. 43rd Avenue West). The Superior trailhead is at Susquehanna Avenue, just behind the Quality Inn (46.722970, -92.125832). We will send details about parking and the after party. Follow the website for additional updates: [Hands Across the Bong Bridge](https://linktr.ee/HandsAcross). ### Expected Flow of the Event: * 12:30 Start assembling at both entrance ways to the bridge * 1:00 Participants start marching toward the middle * When we meet up, Bridge Brigade signs and flags for about one hour * Safely return off the bridge * Post-event celebration (details to follow) * Paddlers welcome in the water, too (stay safe) Richard I. Bong was a hero (the "Ace of Aces") in World War II and received the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was born in Superior and raised in Poplar.

The image of the little boy in his blue bunny hat and Spider-Man backpack flanked by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents gripped the country.
“I wasn't afraid during the surge. I was angry,” said Stenvik. “My resolve was bolstered. We had a strong team around us, and I've been charged to take care of almost 600 staff members and over 3,000 students. And so I didn't have fear. I had energy to do that job.”
