Game Night this Friday!
Weekly Brew 5.18.26
This week, we’re coming together! Thursday night we’ll be painting a large banner designed by our Drop Cloth Diva Suuzz. (It’s gonna say ELECT A CLOWN, EXPECT A CIRCUS. Fun, right?) Then Friday night we’re going to decompress with some GAMES. The location is a private address, but there’s still plenty of space - respond to this email and we’ll add you to the RSVP list for the address.
This past week we took advantage of the weather and went to DAYTON to demonstrate against the ICE Career fair happening in town. We were there on Tuesday...
On Wednesday...
And on Thursday!
Wednesday we were also on the Harrison bridge.
Out twice on Thursday on Montgomery
And Monmouth
And Friday we were in Blue Ash on Deerfield Rd.
And Wyoming Ave in Lockland
And Saturdays 50501 joined the TESLA crew for a special message in the pouring rain against the Voting Rights decision by SCOTUS!
Plainfield was back from their Mother’s Day hiatus. Might be my favorite banner of the month.
We’re always looking for new message ideas and more bridge partners! As you see, some of the overpasses have been co-opted by Click It or Ticket signs so with Campaign Summer coming, we need all the hands we can get and we have a WHOLE LIST of overpasses to try. There’s never been a better time to get out there with us.
If you’re hesitant to join because you don’t know anyone or don’t know what to expect, come join us at the North Central Library this Thursday where the bridgeadiers will be painting a new banner together.

MUST WATCH OF THE WEEK
Have you heard of Graham Platner?
If not, you gotta check him out. He is a self-described “random oyster farmer from Sullivan, ME” who was selected to challenge Susan Collins in the Maine Senate race. He’s a dynamic figure, someone who may have fallen to “cancel culture” in a previous timeline with a controversial tattoo and not-so-great reddit comments. But if you look past that, you see someone who, like Mamdani in NYC, feels like they could affect real change.
The NYTimes sits down with him and answers all your questions, and then some.
