We are a Maryland-based independent rapid response overpass protest Visibility Brigade chapter. Look for the Jolly Roger pirate flag 🏴‍☠️ flying on a DC/MD/VA overpass near you!

And on Monday we reprised a classic: ICE GOONS, GO AWAY! Gave our pirate leader a second crack at gettin' the leading 'n kerning right. Whoever says pirates don’t care about typography can walk the plank! 🏴‍☠️

10 out of 10 pirates 🏴‍☠️ agree: let’s VOTE OUT FASCISM! And from all the honks, waves, hang loose, and jazz hands in response to this message yesterday, the vast majority of people stand with us pirates against fascism.
