The Overhead Light Brigade (OLB) of San Diego was out last night on I-15 with their new lighted letters.
The OLB was forged in the activist climate of the Wisconsin Uprising. Their messages shine over highways at night. OLB believes in the power of communities coming together in physical space, as well as the importance of visibility for grassroots and progressive causes. They are a loose and inclusive affiliation of people dedicated to the power of peaceful and playful protest. Their Facebook Page is here.
