Overpass Light Brigade
Image
Members of the Overpass Light Brigade, a Wisconsin activist group, are standing in a semicircle holding up boards painted black with letters formed by lights. Together the letters spell the words: "GOP Circus." Other protesters are standing around and behind the group holding their own signs calling for a higher minimum wage, immigrant rights, and racial equality. Two people behind the Overpass Light Brigade are holding up a banner reading: "End U.S. Aid to Israel. Milwaukee Anti-War Committee."
