This is an overpass visibility and sign wave event organized by the Visibility Brigade in Lacey, WA on Veterans Day, November 11, 2025. Across the nation, teams will hold visibility events on overpasses and bridges. Millions of people will see the messages! Most of the overpasses in the Lacey / Olympia / Tumwater area will have banners. The purpose of this national event is to give Veterans a platform to express their outrage with the Trump administration's steamrolling of our Constitution and rules of law. Veterans, as well as all public servants who swear an oath to the Constitution, are tired of the administration thinking military service members make oaths to the president! Come stand on a bridge with us!!! We'll meet at the small Lacey Civic Plaza and be along Sleater Kenny and on the I-5 overpass from 10 am to 1 pm. Support the Constitution U.S. Veterans take their oath to the Constitution very seriously. Many are outraged at how the Trump administration blatantly violates the Constitution on a daily basis. The words “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” come from the military oath. These words have deep meaning for service members, even after their service has ended. Visibility events on bridges across the nation provide Veterans an opportunity to bring their message to the public in a highly effective way. All are Welcome You don't have to be a veteran to participate in this protest, however we prefer that veterans are involved in the planning of local events so they are truly messages from vets. While our theme is No Oaths to Trump for Veteran’s Day we realize that all Americans need to protest this administration. If you have some other issue to protest you are welcome to join us on the general sign wave on Sleater Kenny. Other Activities We also plan to have some other activities on the street, off the bridge at the Lacey Civic Plaza included collecting food for the Thurston County Food Bank, possibly some sign making supplies and other things.

To borrow words from 50501 Veterans, "We unequivocally condemn any form of violence, threats of violence, or the suggestion of using weapons in connection with our movement. There is absolutely no place for weapons at any of our events. We will not allow any actions that could endanger others." Furthermore, we expect all volunteers and all events created under the "No Oaths to Trump" campaign to be conducted lawfully and responsibly, and disavow anything advocating for violence. Overpass visibility events are legal as long as sidewalks and roadways aren't blocked, and as long as banners/signs are not suspended beyond the pedestrian side of the bridge rail. Each state has their own guidelines and rules, so please check your local ordinances to ensure you are bannering legally and safely!
