PACK THE BRIDGE! Join Indivisible partners from Forest Lake to Duluth for this Labor Day Weekend Bridge Rally. Forest Lake will be covering both the 11th Avenue and Broadway bridges. The theme is Defend Democracy. 11th Ave Bridge - Defend Democracy. 15 sign holders needed for the large letter signs. Broadway Bridge - No Kings. 7 sign holders needed for the large letter signs at minimum. Contact [email protected] if you are interested in holding a large letter sign – please indicate which bridge you prefer. In the event we do not get enough people registered for both bridges, we will rally on the Broadway Bridge with the Defend Democracy signs only. The rally will be held from 4:30-5:30 PM.
