Visibility Brigade

On May 1, 2025, Jersey Shore Blue’s Visibility Brigade returned to the roads and bridges of New Jersey with a clear message:
“DUE PROCESS FOR ALL.”
The action coincided with May Day, linking the principles of labor justice, civil rights, and constitutional protection under one unified call for fairness.

Purpose of the Action

  • Defend the principle of due process for all individuals, regardless of status

  • Draw attention to political efforts aimed at undermining legal protections

  • Show visible solidarity with marginalized groups, including immigrants and protestors

  • Connect labor rights and civil liberties under a shared framework of justice

What Happened

Activists installed a banner across a pedestrian bridge in a high-traffic area. Flanked by U.S. and Ukrainian flags, the display served as both a domestic call for constitutional rights and a global gesture of democratic alignment. Volunteers remained on-site to ensure peaceful execution and public engagement throughout the day.

Community Response

Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians responded with gestures of support. Social media posts captured the display and sparked conversations about the erosion of legal protections and the need for broad-based civic defense.

Why It Matters

At a time when civil liberties are increasingly threatened by political extremism, this action reasserted a foundational principle of democracy: no one is above or beneath the law. Visibility remains a tool of peaceful protest and public accountability.
