The Art of Peaceful Creative Dissent

The Portland Frog Brigade is committed to artfully exercising our First Amendment right to free speech, building avenues for constructive dialog, and supporting those working to eradicate suffering and injustice.

History shows that absurdity cuts through insanity, and that joy, creativity, education and community expose the moral bankruptcy of authoritarianism more effectively than anger alone.

We use spectacle and humor to counter the narrative that peaceful resistance is somehow “domestic terrorism.” It isn’t. It’s people in community, exercising their Constitutional right — sometimes with freak flags flying — to stand up and speak out for justice.

Here’s why we Frog peacefully.
And how you can Frog too.

Our Mission

The Portland Frog Brigade uses nonviolent creative dissent to speak truth to power through play. We replace fear with laughter, train people to engage constructively across political divides, and inspire art-driven movements against injustice everywhere.
