09/30/2025 12:00 AM - 12:00 AM

Right now, with concerns about social media polarization, misinformation, and democratic participation, sign brigades represent an old-fashioned but powerful way for ordinary citizens to make their voices heard in public space—reminding people that democracy happens in communities, not just online.
They’re particularly important to democracy because they:
- Enable direct participation – Anyone can join, regardless of financial resources, making political activism accessible
- Build community and momentum – They create solidarity among supporters and can energize campaigns through collective action
- Increase visibility – In an era dominated by digital echo chambers, they put political messages directly in front of diverse audiences who might not see them online
- Humanize politics – Seeing neighbors advocate in person makes political engagement feel more real and local than algorithmic feeds
Signs of Fascism was developed by Port Townsend (WA) Indivisible. WDDP plans to bring this initiative to Wisconsin.
