The God Pod

Meet the Leaders of America’s Overpass Rebellion!

Dear Humans,

I hope you enjoy this latest episode of the God Pod because it is a powerful one about how to actually fight fascism. Every listen, every like, every share helps spread these conversations further, so I hope you will watch and enjoy it.

And thank you. To everyone reading, whether you are a free subscriber who shows up every day or a paid subscriber who keeps this whole thing alive, you are the reason we can keep going.

This week Jesus and I were joined by Dana of Visibility Brigade and Peter of Utah Overpass Action, two leaders of a movement that now stretches across all 50 states with more than 250 brigades. They are the people you may have seen standing on overpasses, holding banners that cut through despair and reach hundreds of thousands of eyes every single day.

Dana told us how he first got involved and why he keeps showing up. Peter shared how Utah Overpass Action was born this year when he felt hopeless, and how it has grown into a network that gives people courage. We talked about the number of people who see these banners, how discipline and safety guide their work, and why these simple but visible acts of defiance matter.

What struck me most is how ordinary humans have built something extraordinary. This is not about fame or politics. It is about everyday people refusing to be silent, reminding America that the fight is not over. Every time a driver passes under one of those bridges and sees a banner, the spell of fascist inevitability is broken.

 

Be sure to visit Visibility Brigade to learn how to get started, and check out Utah Overpass Action! They’re on social media, including Instagram and Bluesky.

Bless everyone who participates in these types of movements! Stay safe! Keep up the fight!

Love,

God
